Signora D e famiglia, sono profondamente rattristato dall'improvvisa scomparsa di Bobby. Bobby era davvero un gigante gentile con un cuore d'oro la cui vita era radicata nella FAMIGLIA, nella tradizione e nell'eredità. Lui e io abbiamo condiviso una "connessione italiana" e io sono un essere umano migliore per tuo figlio che è entrato nella mia vita. Ora, il suo swing sarà perfetto e tutte le sue unità dritte! Ho adorato Bobby D.

Bobby Cat, your cousin will truly miss you. May you be at peace hanging with the rest of the family. Big kiss to my dad from me. I'm sure you'll have the best selection of sneakers you could ever dream of. Until we meet again,,,,
