I remember him coming in to the Akron Terminal here at JRayl and asking if he could use one of our trailers to take water, food and materials for disaster relief from one of the hurricanes. He was going from church to church donating his time on his own dime and helping out people he did not even know. He was a special, loving and caring man. He will be missed here at JRayl Transport.

Bobby was a great man. My entire family was impacted by his kindness and generosity. Our hearts ache knowing that he isn't with us, but we take solace in knowing that he is certainly with God. Our prayers are with Tiffany, Bobby's family, and others that got to know and love him.

Bobby was a precious, dear friend to my husband! We loved him and loved hearing from him. We always giggled from hearing the stories of their silliness when they were together and talked! He is missed more than words can describe!!! We find consolation in knowing that he is experiencing "JOYS and SIGHTS" that we can't even imagine; and we know one day WE WILL ALL SEE HIM AGAIN!......and those thoughts bring our aching hearts peace and helps to ease the pain and grief we feel inside. You ALL are in our daily thoughts and prayers, Tiffany & especially dear precious Mother of Bobby's. We love you! Forever in our hearts, Donnie & Chassidy Smith
