I am typing this in tears. Bobby was one of the first people that took me under his wing when I first started at the railroad. He filled me with so much knowledge. Not only about railroading but life in general. He was always a phone call away. He left a lasting impact on me that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. This one hurts. RIL Bebo, until we meet again!

Such a fun person l had the pleasure of meeting , though the friendship of our mothers. The first time I met him he was on crutches and had come to be with his mom. (Mothers boy) but he got up to go to the restroom,as the crutches were click across the floor l candidly thought about the runner with the paperclip legs. So when he come back l asked if he had heard the joke about "poor Lil tink tink" we immediately went into a big laughter and l have called hi. Tink tink every since. 💕 Well you have gained your wings my friend rest easy. You will always be remembered. And you know we all got your mom, it been rough for her, but she knows God needed you now. We love you. RiH. Sending prayers for comfort to the family.

To My Brother (Bebo) and the Family. My Heart & Soul goes out to each and everyone who has been impacted by this loss . I remember when he and I thought we were going to be Bricklayers like our fathers, until we messed up on one of the jobs that they were working on. We both looked at each other and said: maybe we should just be the Help. ( Smile ) I’m Remembering the time when he came here to California for a Conductor’s Meeting and I made sure that I was there just to hang out with him just for that day……. . So Please forgive me for not being there on this day, but not of Death, but of LIFE!!!!! (Bebo) was always True to me and that I will ALWAYS keep. To the Loving Wife, Kids, Mother & Father of a man that will be Truly Missed. Ellett.
