Carol and Family,
My deepest sympathy to you during this most difficult time. I have so many fond memories of Bobby. He was always very funny. He would do or say something that would make me laugh till I cried. As time goes by, we lose touch with people but I often thought about him and all the fun times we had and I would laugh. May God bless you all. Rest in peace my friend.
