So sorry to hear this. Bobby, or Mr. Carmack Sir, as I always called him was always there at football practice with advice(whether looked for or not) as well as great stories. He is a great man who gave so much for youth sports at the Devils. He will be missed by anyone who has ever had the pleasure to meet him. My condolences to the family.

My thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time! Bobby will be missed by all of us. We had some great times together fishing in Okawville, solving the worlds problems in the park shed, and obviously razzing my old man when they worked together. We will miss him.
