Corliss, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. May God bring you comfort during your time of grief. I have missed seeing you since I retired, but I’ve kept you in my thoughts and prayers along with everyone else there at work. I pray for peace and comfort for your family.

I first met Bobby in class at BGSU. We instantly connected and I remember his friendly nature. A track star from Dunbar and a young man, myself, from Beavercreek. We were, in those times, unlikely friends. I’m so sad to hear of his passing.
