Charles Earl ‘Bobby’ Compton, loved retirement life
Mr. Charles Earl "Bobby" Compton, 78, died suddenly Tuesday, May 30, 2017, at his home in Georgetown.

He is also survived by his beloved sister, Nora Virginia "Ginger" Albrittain; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and friends.
He will be cremated with burial at sea along with his son Eddie. A private memorial service and gathering of friends and family will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to Shriners Hospital for Children or the American Heart Association.
Arrangements by Watson Funeral Home, Millsboro.
