On Monday, July 29, 2019, God dispatched His angels to go to the bedside of Bobby Lee Thorne to bring His son home. The angel whispered gently “Peace be thine”. Bobby gladly answered as he held on and took flight with the angel to his eternal home.
To cherish his memory, Bobby leaves behind his mother, Shirley Hall (Joseph), and his son, Bobby Lee Thorne Jr. He also leaves behind his sisters and brothers, Jeanette Foote, Billy Thorne, Juanita Thorne, Sabrina Logan, Shirley Oliver, Joseph Thorne, Eric Thorne, Shelia Bing, and Angie Williams. As well, he has 14 nieces and nephews and seven great nieces and nephews to help continue his memory. Additionally, he leaves behind two aunts, Dorothy Corbin (William) and Elizabeth Cofield, and one uncle, Rudolph Hill (Audrey). Bobby has a host of cousins who, too, love him and will miss him dearly. Finally, he leaves behind a special friend, Renee Yancey, who stood by his side and cared for him until the very end.
