To Paula and Family,
Sorry to hear that Bobby passed away. Remembering the days when he and I worked together at the DPW Supply Warehouse from 1987-1998 (when the Warehouse was closed). DPW kept Bobby and me, and then Bobby retired shortly after that. He would call me sometimes while I was on the job just to say hello and chit chat.
Glad for the times I would ask you to tell him hello for me. He was not forgotten; as I know he went through a lot of hard times; yet remembering his unforgettable personality & sense of humor. May your memories of the good and special times always comfort you all. May God bless you all in the days and years ahead!
