Lloyd (JR) was the love of my life. He was the most incredible smartest man I have ever known and extremely talented. I enjoyed a cup of coffeein the morning with a kiss. I loved the long talks that we had about music and family. He will forever be in my heart and a part of my life. I will hold you in my heart forever. With all my heart.  Nielen

I love you dad and I miss you and rest in peace. You were loved by me and the grandbabies. Salem, Benjamin and onyx misses and loves you as well. From katlynn Austin

For a short time he was my dad, we both liked star trek and he knew klingon which was cool. He was always playing his guitar and singing something. He made mom smile and happy too. I wish they got to be together longer. He was fun to be around too now I'm gonna miss him.  Love Bobby Jr

Jr was a very talented country musician, he could play just about any instrument, he always encouraged me to practice playing instruments and always told me how naturally talented I was. I enjoyed talking about conspiracy theories with him, the last time I talked to him we talked for two hours, he had a funny sense of humor and had great jokes. He was also a walking encyclopedia, if you had a question he had an answer. He was very smart. He passed away too young and he'll be missed.-love Amber

While my dad and I didn't always have the best relationship. I knew I could count on him. I knew he would always be there if I ever needed help. That I could call him and ask for help whenever. We did have our fights but I knew he loved me and he knew I loved him. He will always be in my heart and memory. I couldn't have ask for a better dad than him. I love you dad, and will miss you forever. -Emily
