I’m so saddened to read about Mr.Bobby’s passing. He was always so kind to me.Always showing up every month in the pretty red truck to get his haircut.He loved his family dearly, always talking about cooking holiday meals for them. I will miss him a lot such a kind soul. Rest In Peace Mr. Bobby. Prayers for your family.
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
Prayers for the family. A good man has left this earth, his influence on family and friends will continue his legacy.
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.
Miranda and family, we are so very sorry for the loss of your much loved Papa Graddy. Please know we are praying peace for you all.
It saddens me to hear of Bob's passing. He was a kind man who will be missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Ricky & Randi,
I was so saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. I so appreciate and admire his generation and their service to our country. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew him. He and Betty were the epitome of kindness. I pray that God comforts and guides you in the coming days.
With much love,

It was an honor to know and take care of Mr. Graddy. He will always hold a special place in my heart.
It was such an amazing honor to take care and get know Mr Bobby and his family, he will be truly and forever missed. We loved him so much, he had such a tender heart and sweet smile with soul. May he rest easy. Lord wrap your arms around each and everyone during this time, my deepest condolences to all
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.
What an awesome man Bob was to my family and we made him part of our extended family. We all loved him very much. He is going to be missed dearly but we have so many great memories of him and Betty. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Love you all.
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
Bob was a great man who was a friend of almost 50 years. He and Betty were wonderful encouragers to My Lady and me. May God bless his family.
My family loved you and Miss Betty, and dad considered you one of his best friends on earth. You will be missed.
Donna K and Justin and family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. He was a wonderful man and we know he will be missed. Love you guys
