Bobby Ray Vines Sr. left this world for a better one at 6:10pm. Bobby was on the way to work at GSE Lining and lost control of his motorcycle. He was a big man with a big heart. He sometimes tried to hide it, but anyone who knew him and loved him could see that he was a big softy when it came to hid family and the people who meant something to him. When things would go wrong he would say “Don’t’ worry I have broad shoulders, I can take care of it” and he certainly did that. He was a wonderful husband, loyal son and brother, a great dad and the best “Pappy”. He loved hunting for that big buck, fishing in the Trinity Bay, betting a 12 pack on a NASCAR race with his friend (Cousin) Ricky Cox. He had a great sense of humor and always had something to say that would make you smile or laugh out loud. He liked to fill his big pit with meat and BBQ for everyone to enjoy. He was so generous and loving. As long as we are here and he is in our hearts – He will live on.
