We will always remember the love of
life, VT and the Redskins that Bobby
had. He was truly a kind person and
we enjoyed spending time with him
over the years at the campground.
Doris, we are keeping you and your
family in our prayers and thoughts. ~ Cecil and Brigitte Corbin, Williamsburg, Virginia January 11, 2012
Bobby's passing has left us all a
little poorer, but my memories of
him will always bring a smile when I
think of his sweet nature and the
friendly encounters we had from the
time of our childhoods until
recently. Our chance meetings always
brought a hearty greeting and a hug
and lifted my spirits, no matter
what else was happening. He was
truly a good and gentle man who will
be missed by so many. Doris, I wish
you and the family peace and my
deepest condolences at this sad
time. January 11, 2012
I remember Bobby as a faithful
member of our church. He had a kind
and gentle nature that is also
reflected in some of his
descendants. January 11, 2012 
We will surely miss Bobby and the fun & laughter we shared. Our lives
were truly blessed by knowing him. Love to Doris & Berk and all the
family.Charles & Betty Jane Duncan ~ Betty Jane Duncan, Gloucester Point, Virginia January 11, 2012
From our family to yours thoughts
and prayers.. He was blessed to have
you and you blessed to have him. God
has him now and he awaits your
arrival one day.. the Boyd family.

Words by
Isaac Watts,
The Psalms of David, 1719 (based on
Psalm 90)
(17 July 1674 - 25 Nov 1748)
Music, St. Anne, by
William Croft,
1708
(10 Dec 1678 - 14 Aug 1727)
1. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
2. Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3. Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4. Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,
“Return, ye sons of men”:
All nations rose from earth at first,
And turn to earth again.
5. A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
6. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by the flood,
And lost in foll’wing years.
7. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.
8. Like flow’ry fields the nations stand
Pleased with the morning light;
The flow’rs beneath the mower’s hand
Lie with’ring ere ’tis night.
9. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
