Bobby was a neighbor and friend for more than 60 years. His dad was our family's physician. And over the years the friendship never ended. Even when I moved from the area. In February we last met in Florida to celebrate his and Danny's birthdays. I will always treasure the memories of that time.. Our deepest sympathy and love to the family.
