I miss you so much Bobby. I can't say that it feels like time has helped with how much I miss you.
Sometimes it feels quite the opposite. There have been so many times that I watch the episode of The OC just to see you doing what you had loved. I know one day I'll see you again. Until then you are so missed. Love you always.

Brother I asked you for guidance and help, which I never do! I always ask you to look over mommy and the kids... Anyway, I believe you sent me something that I needed. It's extra religious but I'm trying to have an opened mind. Anyway, I love and miss you. Please come visit me one of these nights in my dreams. I need to hear your voice. Love you more than you'll ever know

March 10, 2013

Hey buddy it's been awhile but I haven't forgot about you. Wish u could see the kids they're awesome and I'd never have them and my family without you and for that I'm eternally grateful. Miss you always pal.

Bobby,
It's taken a very long time for me to accept you being gone. I think about you all the time, and I really miss you. You and Brian were the big brothers that I never had. You are my oldest friend and made me strong when I was young, teaching me not to take any crap from anyone. When I moved away from Van Kirk Street, it was just always weird how you and I kept running into each other as the years passed, like we were meant to be friends. You were the most charasmatic person I have ever known, and I like to think that some of your charisma rubbed off onto me, as it was what landed me my beatiful bride-to-be Allison. Yup, I'm finally getting married in June. Hoping that Brian will be my best man, with you watching over as well. Because that was the way it was always supposed to be...You and Brian as my best men. I miss you buddy.

Dear Bob
Gregg got married last weekend and he gave a speech, in which he named all his family and friends he has lost over the years. It chocked me up when he said your name. Just letting you know we all think about you all the time. Not a day goes by i dont. Miss you Bad Bob.

Dear Bob,

I just found out yesterday that you passed away. I still can't believe it. I remember like yesterday when we first met in Wildwood because of John & Cheryl. You were one of the funniest people I know and at that moment I never would have thought that we would have been such amazing friends. We had so much fun when I came out to CA and stayed with you and your sister for a few days. I remember picking you up from the airport almost everytime you came home and you always had to have your flights coming in at 5 in the morning. Then we would go to the diner and eat breakfast. I really miss that. I wish I would have known, I just always tried writing you letters and calling your cellphone. I should have known something happened, but in my heart I just always hoped you were happy & maybe just busy. Now you're up there with the big guy, but I'm sure he had to move over and make room for you and your amazing personality that just shined so bright. I never met anyone like you and I'm so glad that I had the privilege of being in your life for all of those years. You were an amazing person and friend and you only wanted everyone to be happy. I really miss meeting for lunch or just hanging out in your living room watching TV, no matter what we were doing, I just miss it, I miss YOU! I hope you know how many lives you touched, because you sure did touch mine. You taught me never to give up. Oh yeah and besides my pictures of you, I can always see you for a minute on the one episode of "The OC" that I have. I remember when it was going to air, you were so happy it was amazing. I also remember how much you loved the jacket you got off the set off "Be Cool". You simply loved life and you definitely lived it to the fullest. I miss you dearly. My condolences to your family, I know it doesn't get any easier but I know he's watching over you. He always talked about his family and loved you all so much.
Love you Bob and miss you!
Christy

It's been too many years but, I just found out that you have passed away. My sympathies & condolences to your family. Last time we hung out was when Anthony Bogan & I dated many, many years ago. Through the years in Wildwood, Joey M's, & ShoreRoad Tavern. What the memories. I can still remember the oldies cd you burned for me. Take care good friend & while you're up there pls. tell my husband that Morgan, Gunner, & I miss him very much.

Hey you,

So, I was just thinking about something really funny. All of the girls went to the shore for the weekend. During one of the nights, Amy & Lisa's bro-in-law came down and was staying with us. He went out with us that night and during the night, we ran into you (of course...haha). Well, Mike thought that you were just some dude who was following us home. He was amazed at how comfortable you were just welcoming yourself into our hotel room. After you left, he told this to us and when we told him who you were, we were all rolling. It was so friggin funny. hahahaha. Not sure if I ever told you that story, but with the summer season upon us, I remembered it and had to share.

Miss the fun times with you.

Love you.
Alecia

Hey honey,

I cannot believe it's been 2 years since you passed on. It feels like just yesterday we were all hanging out at the bar, or you were planning some concert for everyone to go to. Man, those were the days. We sure did have some good times. I miss you so much.

Love you,
Alecia
