Gayle I am so sorry. I just now read this, I had no idea. (I don't get the newspaper) Bobby will be greatly missed. I remember all the stories dad use to tell, "Me and Bobby Taylor did this is Jr. high" or " me and Bobby Taylor did that in high school" Dad thought a great deal of him.. and I'm sure they're together now... My heart is breaking, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You are a special lady.

Gayle, My name is Ann Taylor Wright. Bob was my uncle. I have not had any idea where he was for many years. I had looked online and never found him. I had not been back to Shelbyville since my mom died in 1998 until last summer. I would love to have known that he was there. I had no idea that he was married. Life is sometimes not fair. I got a note from my cousin, Sandie, today to tell me of Bob's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Sometime when you are feeling up to it, I would love to write and or talk with you. Are you from Shelbyville/Waldron originally? Anyway, I am very sorry to hear about your loss and am thinking about you.
