I am sorry to learn of Bobby's passing - I remember Bobby, Almena and all of the Taylor family from living with my Uncle Frank Chibbaro and his family on Ridgecrest Drive in Greenville, SC the summer of 1960.

I offer my sincere condolences to all in the Taylor Family

Bobby will be missed. He and Ford Lynch signed my petition to join Hejaz in 1994. Bobby being on the Directors Staff made sure I was first in line all weekend long. Bobby had a profound influence on the community in the way he conducted business at his shop. I have a neighbor in her 90’s and she and her husband trusted no one else with their car. To the family my prayers and condolences on your loss.
