I knew Bobby for just a few years as my client and always thought of him not as a client but a true friend. I was shocked to hear the news of his passing especially when I just spoke to him on Friday and he sounded great. I will think of him often and miss his warmth and sense of humor.. My condolences to his family.
Sincerely,
