I just now found out about his passing. Me and my cousin Butch went hunting with him many times along Bastrop Bayou, too many times to count. Bobby was hilarious and quite a character. I always remember the good times he showed me and others. Sounds like he was loved in adulthood too. I am sure he will be missed.

Bobby was #8 out of the 10 Villman first-cousins. Growing up, I alternately felt sorry for him and envied him being an only child. As an adult we lost touch as a lot of people do, even in a family as close as ours. As a little boy he was annoying and funny, but it warms my heart to know he grew to be a loving and involved father and friend. Rest in Peace, Cuz.

Story shared: Story of the bees!

Hey guys. It was very hard for me to pick a story for yall because I have so many. Bobby was a big part of my life growing up. My dad considered him one of his best friends so he was always over and even us as kids would play while they hung out. Bobby truly is on my list of great men in my life. So here's my story... My dad, Bobby, and I were at the deerlease hanging out during deer season. This was one of our favorite places to be during the year. Anyways, we were all talking and telling stories while I was laid back swinging in the hammock. This time of year it wasn't quite cold yet and it was just the right temperature for these little yellow wasp/bees to come out, that would swarm your coke cans when you arent keeping an eye on them. Well Bobby took his eyes off his coke can for too long...... next thing I know Bobby's hooping, hollering, and jumpimg all around. Me and my Dad are wondering whats going on while I'm despearately trying to climb my way out of this endless hammock so that whatever it was didnt get me too! Come to find out, one of those bees had made its way in Bobby's can and he took a nice big ole drink.... When the pain finally calmed down enough for Bobby to relax, he would try to talk and be all mumbles. His tounge had swole up so huge that he couldnt even talk without sounding like Elmer Fudd! At this point, my dad went from concerned to having a laughing fit he couldn't control. I'm not going to lie, I was laughing myself. Well this went on for awhile and Bobbys tounge was still swollen so it just continued to be funny. And then it happened.... My dad took a nice big swig of his coke and BOOM!! My dad was jumping up and down, hooping and hollering .. Bobby and I were laughing so hard. Instant Karma we thought! My dad tounge swole up and next thing you know, I was talking to not one, but two, Elmer Fudds the rest of the day. This was while sipping on my bottled water with a cap that got put on after each drink. Guys I'm terribly sorry for your loss. This one cuts me deep. Bobby will truly be missed! Please let me know if you need anything. We are praying for you.

Story shared: Bowling on Sundays

Back in the day, Bobby was about 4 or 5 years old, our Villman family would meet on Sunday mornings after church at the Little York Bowling Alley for a few rounds of bowling. I remember Bobby cradling a (too heavy) bowling ball in both arms, and walking up to the line in his sock covered feet. He would push the ball forward, and watch it roll. He got excited every time he did it, and sometimes he even hit the pins :)

I will always remember Bobby spending the weekends with us in Willis and he and my dad fishing on Lake Conroe. Bobby recently told me that my parents treated him like he was their own child and he thought very highly of them. He also was there to help anytime you needed him. I can imagine him and my dad doing some major fishing in Heaven now!

Too many memories to list on this post. Watched Bobby grow up next door to us. His bell on red fire truck was definitely annoying. Bobby journey of life landed him back to his childhood neighborhood about 14 years ago after his father passed away. I have enjoyed him being back. Glad me and my family were able to share those years with him. Gonna miss seeing and talking to him. Our neighborhood will never be the same.
