In the summer month of August on the 15th day, in 1941, the sun rose with God's Blessing. Robert Lee "Bobby" Sanders was born to Ulices and Louise Sanders in Dothan, Alabama.
Bobby was a member of Christ-First Baptist Church, under Pastor John A. Kenney, Jr. in Compton, California. He, also, would accompany his oldest daughter to God's House of Deliverance, under Pastor Mary E. Pre'Jean in Los Angeles, California; where he received honorary membership status.
Bobby was a kind, generous man of few words, but full of action. He was blunt, straightforward, headstrong and generous. He loved his family hard and was a die hard motorcycle rider, in which a custom designed and custom painted Harley Davidson was a must. Fast cars and trucks with the glass pipes was his thing, as well.
