Specials

Bobby graduated from South Side High School in 1973. Upon graduation he entered the United States Army where he discovered a love for adventure and became a Paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division. He also trained as a weapons specialist; he was honorably discharged in 1977. After returning home from the military, he married his high school sweetheart, Connie Mollison in 1978.

Bobby was employed with Fort Wayne Community Schools for 14 years and General Motors for 14 years from which he retired from in 2008.

Entrée

Bobby was quite the outdoorsman, and could not get enough of fishing and hunting, a favorite pastime spent with family and friends. He loved to share his passion for cooking with others generating many repeat visitors on Sunday afternoons. If you’ve never had ribs off his 6-foot grill you absolutely missed one of his finest works of art. You may have to hear a story or three about “The Footwash,” “Westfield,” The Infamous “Woodview Raiders,” and any other reminders of the good old days while you wait sometimes on repeat, but that infectious smile made it all worthwhile. He was a man of selfless service and always willing to lend a helping hand to those who needed him. After his retirement he volunteered his time at the Shepherd’s House and the Veteran Administration Chapel.

Our Papa

Papa,

It did not take long for me to learn to "hide" the cookies, or you would eat them up! Then you learned to "hide" the fruit from me. The main fruit that we both could devour in minutes was strawberries. So, you better hide the strawberries before one of us finds them. It is with a heavy heart that I give you my last strawberry. You will be missed!

My gpa was my best friend who was always there when you needed him. With everyone being here I just know he's happy that we are all together bringing the love together. One thing I will miss is my gpa talking your ear off, but it was worth it because he had a story about EVERYTHING that would have you cracking up. I will truly miss the times I'd walk in the living room and see him knocked out with the tv on no matter if he was sleep or not you better not touch that tv! He would wake right up and say he was watching it.

Love you, Papa
