Bobby and Lillar have been a vital part of our family for many years. Bobby was a man of great compassion who enjoyed helping others. He was joyful, pleasant, honest and handsome. He was greatly adored by all who knew him. Bobby was a soldier in the army of the Lord and a soldier in the United States Army. He faithfully exhibited these ideals: A-Aspired to do the will of God R-Religious, Reserved, Respectable, Reliable M-Made a difference in the lives of others by giving his time, talent and monetary gifts Y-Yes the road was rough and the going got tough, yet Bobby still stands in the arms of the Lord. Bobby will be sorely missed. We pledge our love and support to Lillar and the Barnes Family, Always, Forever and a Day. Just another solider on his way .... HOME!! Gloria Peoples/The Peoples Family

We will miss having Mr. Bobby on our street. He has been here as our daughters grew up showing kindness always. When the girls were little he would bring them treat bags when he would attend conventions with Lillar- the girls always loved that. We are grateful for his time serving our country. Prayers are with you, Lillar! And also with nephew Tony we would see each week helping with lawn care.

Our dear friend and brother in Jesus Christ will be greatly missed. Bobby's kind spirit and gentle demeanor have meant so much to so many. Bobby loved to encourage the youth of First Congregation Church to be the best person in Christ that they could be. As he takes his rest in the presence of Jesus Christ, we all will remember his good works while he lived in our presence. Lillar, we all will be praying for you and the rest of the family to be strong as God blesses you with His presence.

We are sending our prayers and condolences to our church member and a great friend that will be missed.

Bobby was our neighbor for the last 23 years. We always enjoyed talking with him when we ran into each other out in the yard. We will miss him in our neighborhood but know he is home now with the Lord. Thank you Mr. Bobby for your kindness and service to our nation. May you find peace in Heaven. God Bless!
