Bobby was a great friend to our family and as a child one of my favorite visitors. I never remember him visiting our house when people weren’t laughing or smiling. My earliest memory of Bobby is helping him put silver hairspray into his hair and painting his face the same silver color. I am not sure what occasion prompted the metallic look but I bet it was a great night out. He was kind to us as children he would ask about my sister’s dolls and he could name all of the New Kids on the Block with me. As a parent now I have enjoyed watching Bobby talk with my son and see him really listen. Spending half and hour or more, checking out a cool rock or Lego project. The “Iron man” will be remembered my many and missed by all.

We are so very sad to hear this very bad news. Memories of Bobby are flooding our minds. Always laughing and smiling. A pleasure to be with. We had so many great times together. Parties or just sitting around at the Post. Our trips to Ireland - cook outs. We surely will never forget him.
