My deepest condolences go out to the Wray family. Bobby was a life long friend as well as the only insurance agent that I used since I leaned to drive (1979) and up until he retired. I can’t count all the times he went out of his way to take care of my family through his insurance days. He was just that kind of man. I am certain he is at rest now and with his Lord and Savior. He leaves a legacy of kindness to all that he met in this life well lived. RIP Bobby.
