To the Patton family: Pat and I were saddened to hear of Mr. Bobby’s passing. He was one of the first men I met when Pat and I moved to Phillips county. I was so fortunate to have known him, he was such a great individual and school man. He worked hard for the community and the school at Barton and I know he was looked up to by many who knew him. I pray for your sadness to turn to joy knowing that many people have you in their thoughts and prayers at this time. I feel honored that I was able to know him. Bill and Pat Givens
