Bobbylee worked in construction for RPCI out of Mt. Airy, MD and South Carolina. He also worked for Hitt Contracting, Inc. for a good part of his life.
Bobbylee’s greatest achievement in life is his son, Josh and daughter Petey (Hannah). Bobbylee had a great time hanging out with his friends and riding motorcycles. He also had many hobbies including art collecting, coins, knives, story telling and watching John Wayne movies in his recliner with his best ice tea.

He is also a brother to Bunky Myers of Middletown, MD, Jeff Kernsher of Mt. Airy, MD, Tommy Lamb of Walkersville and Randy Nicklas of Buckeystown, MD.
