Attendees are asked to meet on the front side of the Marion County Courthouse in Buena Vista at 1:30 pm to process to the cemetery. At a later date, Bobby's ashes will be scattered from his sailboat into the waters of his beloved Chattahoochee River, which he worked so hard for 30+ years to protect. From there they will flow into the beautiful emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico and ultimately to the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, where Bobby's lifelong dream to sail around the world will finally be fulfilled. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made in Bobby's memory to one of the following organizations: Buena Vista/Marion County Habitat for Humanity, P. O.
