Oh what a good, good man The Gallahar’s love the Graddys. Mr. Bob was so kind to dad after he went to the nursing home. He would come and sit with dad and Chip to watch ballgames. He also brought Mrs. Betty out to the house for visits when Mrs. Betty didn’t know us but she was still so sweet. I smile when I think of Mr. Bob and Mrs. Betty. Our prayers are for your sad hearts, we love you all

Bob was always a gentle giant in my eyes. His passing will leave an obvious void to many of his friends, but an extreme cavern in Tommy and Ricky's world. You will both be in our prayers over the coming days.

Mr. Bob was such a sweet and kind hearted individual. I would always ask him if he was keeping the ladies on his pew in line (all widows)...and would always respond nope the other way around...it was our standing ice breaker before talking. My heart is very sad and going to miss him a ton...but so glad you are not in pain and with the Lord.

To all of Bobby's family ( we always called him Bob ) Debby and I were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing away. We thought the world of him. He was one of the best men I have ever known. He was a real role model of how a man should live his life, as a husband, father, Christian man, honest, hard working, just in every positive way I can think of he fit the description. He loved his late wife dearly and all his family he's left behind. He will be greatly missed here on earth but I know he and the Angels in Heaven are rejoicing now and will be for eternity! God bless all the Graddy family, our prayers and thoughts are for you to rejoice, knowing that Bob is now with Betty in HEAVEN and no longer battling any health/age issues. RIP Mr. Bob
