My brother was a true friend, great companion, beautiful person inside and out and a blessing to alot of people. We were a very close family and loved each other deeply. We are setting up a trust fund for his youngest son Joshua. Eric DeLong will be making copies of Bobby's songs on CD and the money will go to Josh's trust fund. CD's are $10.00 each. If you are interested, please email me. Thank you and Bobby will forever be in our hearts and on our mind and now his songs will live forever.

Growing up with Bobby, we had many firsts, and I'm knowledgeable in certain skills that I attribute to knowing him; every time I use that skill, I think of him and how I've missed him and now will miss him more, but firmly believe we'll cross paths again. Bobby was much more than just a childhood best friend. Forever, I remain sincere,
