2^nd Timothy, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.  Bobby was blessed with a beautiful family.  He was kind, loving, compassionate, hard-working, and very knowledgeable and wise.  At a young age, Bobby knew what it was like to work hard and be a great provider and was one of the youngest boat captains. Bobby was a Master Mason and dedicated for the past 30 years of his membership.  In his pastime, he enjoyed gardening and fishing, but overall being an outdoorsman.  As Bobby grew older, he put his business sense to the test and started a wrecker service in 1970 in Chauvin.  As the years went by, Bobby grew in business and expanded his company to Houma in 1976.  Bobby saw a need in Houma and started many more business to cater to the community which included The Tropical Oasis, Tropical Breeze, apartment complexes, service stations, and Marie’s Auto Parts.  His business talents have been handed down to his family and will continue to bless Houma with his service.  Bobby leaves this world behind and is reunited with those he loved who passed before him and will rest in the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
