My condolences to the family and friends. I knew Bobby as WA4JRC with the Virginia Fone net. He was a fine amateur radio operator as well as a person. We will miss listening to him as net control and telling all of his wonderful stories. May God be with you and keep you safe during this time of grief. Our prayers are with you always.
