Bobby is one of those people that it was a true blessing to actually get the opportunity to meet. In all the years I have known Bobby, I never heard a negative remark about anyone, always optimistic, was always there if you needed help, dedicated to family and work, very intelligent & beat me at every sport. Our hearts and prayers go out to family and friends, he will truly be missed by all.
