Carol, I am so sorry to hear about Bobby. My heart breaks for you and your family. Have known Bobby for many years, as we volunteered with many of the same organizations. He was certainly a true Patriot, loved his Country, and helping others. We will all miss him. RIP Bobby.

My prayers are with you Carol. God Bless you

It is sad that I read about our "Bobby". He was fun, had an opinion on most any issue, and greatly helped me when I was the Mayor of this little City. He served as a Commissioner for me and many others. Many students at Ballard High School gained great guidance from him. He will be missed.

Dear Lord thank you for giving us time with this special angel you sent to us. We were blessed to know him by many titles; some knew him as son, husband, brother, father, uncle, friend. May he rest in peace in your loving arms. Please send you spirit of love, comfort and support to those of us left here with the memories of your amazing child you gave us for a time.
