Wow Bobby it is so hard to believe that you are gone! From 1969 till now we have always had a close bond. I will always remember the great times we had. I especially remember the time we had with you and Mary going to Florida. The train trip and the visit to Silver Glen Springs. Really hot in the sun but cold in the water!! The times with Kari at Busch Gardens and of course all the times at the Fraternity House! You will always be remembered for the Snake award and being the life of the party. Due to living in Florida now I will be unable to be with you but you will know that I am thinking of you and will miss you greatly. Rest in Peace my friend!

I have fond memories of growing up together and playing wiffle ball in the yard as well as all of our escapades. Will be thinking of your mom tomorrow as I celebrate the first birthday of my grandson which will keep me from attending but my thoughts are with everyone that will be there.

First met Bobby in '68 at the Apprentice School. We were fraternity brothers and had many good times hanging out, talking sports and drinking coca colas. We continued our friendship for the next fifty years. Will miss you Brother!
