Condolences
RIP "Mr. Bobby"
I would like to send my deepest condolences to Mr. Bobby's family and loved ones. I meant him a few years ago when I was taking care of a friend of his from Parkesburg...Ms. Eddy. He was a loving man, and a good friend to her as well. He always came through to make sure she was okay when he was in the area. I also spoke to him many times at The Little Chef Restaurant. Mr. Bobby you will be missed, and I hope to see you again in heaven. God Bless the entire Baker family and Bless you all. May the Lord comfort and keep you in your time of grief.
