Bobby Rountree

Post by Bob Tuttle »

My dear friend, Bobby Rountree passed away yesterday at his home in San Angelo, Texas. We played together in bands, off and on, for nearly 35 years. I will miss him terribly, and I know his many friends will too. Rest in peace my friend.

Sorry to hear this news, Anytime our band was in the San Angelo area Bobby would find the time to come by and say hello. Many times he would play some fiddle with us. RIP my friend Bobby

If I ever get to hear The Old Watermill again it just won't be the same.

I hate reading this. Bobby and I attended a PSG course together. He was a great guy to be around and generous with his knowledge. Rest in peace, Bobby.
