The Bobby Meador Family: Please accept my sympathy and condolences. I first met Bobby in 1972 while working at Richards Ford. Bobby was the Ford Dealers for Bass tournaments director and did an outstanding job. We became friends and often fished the Spillway at Bayou Pigeon together. Bobby was an outstanding bass fisherman and was especially talented fishing the spinner bait. He could really make that bait do tricks and he caught lots of fish. Bobby was a gifted sportsman and always had good things to say. He was an outstanding promoter and a good friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.
