And even allow you and your family and friends to morun as long as you all need to. Again my friend I am so very very sorry. You and your family and friends are always in my heart and prayers.

Sometimes it is hard to express in words the feelings in the heart. May you be comforted by the promise of a resurrection in to a world perfect, beautiful, everything in harmony and when our loved ones will be restored to the vigor of their youth. What joy is in store for our families as they are reunited. May Jehovah the God of comfort through his son Christ Jesus continue to be with you during this time of sorrow. May your memories bring joy to you as we look ahead to that resurrection as Nora use to teach us, Bobby and all those privileged to visit them. Bobby was hospitable and accommodating. Thinking of you.

We are so saddened to hear of Bobby’s passing. I had the prevledge of working for Bobby as Bookkeeper for his Chevron Gas Station in Roswell back in the day. He was by far the BEST Boss and friend. He treated all his employees well and we truly enjoyed working in his presence. I only knew Carol back then , but George and I send Loving prayers of comfort to the Durham family. He will be truly missed but never forgotten by those who knew of his sincere character. Love, George & Lynn Seeds

I wan't to give my condolenses to the Durham and Otte family. I have known this wonderful man for many years. He had a great sense of humor, and every time I saw him, he made my not so great day so much brighter. He was kind, thoughtful, and would literally do anything for anyone in need. He also made great salsa and breakfasts! I love you Mr. Bobby Durham, and will miss you so very much! That ring you gave me years ago, I will cherish always. Rest in heavenly peace my friend. ❤
