Even though we was from way up north , he was always nice and we loved the gumbo as much as he and Rose Ann .... dang we miss her too . She and now Bobby will be sadly missed . But we will hold FOND memories of them both now of the Bayou camp times to the Norma St visits ..... it was ALL great and it was OUR PLEASURE to have the friendship with them both . They are now together again in the forever place God has made for ALL of their heartfelt goodness. Rest in Peace Bobby Fontenot , you were a great great man

Condolences to the family. Rest in peace, Bobby. The best part of growing up on Norma was being walking distance to your store, and shop. So many fond memories of helping my Dad keep the family vehicles running with your help!!
