Not sure what to say?

RIP bobby you was a great person I remember watching you and your brother in in st louis.

I taught school in St.Louis in the 70s and during my time there I participated in the Plager women’s hockey clinic ( ahead of its time) It was a great experience . I received praise from Bobby and 2 other Blues players for my skating skills but learned a lot from them. There were many good skaters out for this event from the St.Louis area. I played for a team from the St. Charles area. Surprisingly , while having my car tuned up in Mpls. April 30, I met someone fr: St. Louis who told me of...

I am so very sorry for your loss Your Dad was one of a kind. And will be missed by all who knew him. Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family ❤❤

Bobby, you will truly be missed. Thanks for so many memories on and off the ice. Whether we were golfing in a tournament together or with “Pops” at Dave’s, Crossroads or Bobby’s Place you always had a smile and joke to share. Thanks for all the time you spent coming to visit while I was in the burn unit. I know how much it meant to me, but also to my family and especially Danny and Trish. I know you and Danny are up in heaven having one heck of a time.
To the Plager family, my sincerest...

I spent (20) years at the St. Louis Arena and the now Enterprise Center as the VP of Operations. When I arrived in January of 1988 to take over at the Arena we had the All Star game and just before the game Barkley passed away from cancer. That’s when I got introduced to Bobby. For the next (20) years I dodged all the one liners and enjoyed very second of it. He brightened everyone’s life when he walked in a room. He and his family were die hard Blues and St. Louis fans.

What a kind and gentle soul who will be so missed. Like a friend that I never met but always knew.
As a Blues fan since 1970, Bobby and Barclay Plager were my hockey heroes as a kid. As the years went by, he became my hero as a man who enjoyed life and devoted his time, kindness and smiles to all those he encountered in this life. What a Blessing to hockey, St. Louis and to those he knew. Peace and love.

Hey Plager I miss you so much already...I’m sure you and “Pops” are up there causing some sort of mayhem together....All of St. Louis will keep you in our hearts you were such a beautiful soul...peace and love Plager
