Add A Condolence

To the family of Bobby Howard: We got to know Bobby during our early years of teaching at Havelock High School. He was just a good old soul that everyone instantly liked. We are so sorry for your loss. - Patrick and Carol Moore Blackstock

My husband Mike and I had the pleasure of working with Bobby during our years at Carteret General, I considered him a gentle giant. He had a big laugh and an infectious smile. We are sorry to learn of his passing may God bless his family in this time of sadness. Diana & Mike Alberti

Our condolences to family and friends. Bobby was like a brother and enjoyed sitting with Mother when Dee asked. Traveling to hear good singing, going out to eat a good meal or sitting at Dee's watching a TV show brought Bobby great pleasure. We are heart broken and will forever cherish his memory. Your healing has come thy good and faithful servant! Valery F. Kelley, Deborah Frazier and family Havelock, NC

I was so hurt last week when I heard I had lost another dear buddy of mine and a good ex-coworker and a wonderful friend that always knew how to make someone smile but the joy you brought into a room when you walked in it . My prayers go out to the family n friends . He was a great loss but God needed him another soldier to watch over his children on earth. Mr. Bobby you truly will be missed but never ever will you be forgotten . Rest easy my friend !!! Your friend , Sara Guthrie

Bobby was a kind and gentle person very humble. I'm gonna miss him. I could always get a laugh out of him when I would call him Mr Brown. He was family to me.

To my family. Everyone has memory of our baby brother. My memory goes deep. I am happy because my brother accepted God as his personal savior. He loved God and God loved him . My proud moment came when he became a Deacon. I'm going miss him in the morning services. I'm going him calling me sis. He's resting now and that makes me content. May God all of my family

I was so heartbroken when I heard the news about Bobby. My heart goes out to his family.

Uncle Bobby! You were the closest thing of a dad in my life! I will never forget you, how could I? I never imagined you leaving earth so soon at such a young age. My fondest memory is always having a pinch war in church and continuing after service. You comical character after church functions were hilarious!! Thank you for wanting to take me to Swansboro with you just to go through a junkyard. I love you forever and always!!!!!! To my uncle from your youngest niece Raelyce Taylor aka (ray gene)

Bobby you will be miss ... LOVE YOU

Linda, Deborah, and family. I'm sorry to read of your love ones passing. Lift your eyes to the hills, from whence comes your help. Your help comes from the LORD. Praying for and thinking of you during this time. Reta Frazier
