I am sorry to hear of Mr. Gould's passing. I had the pleasure of seeing him a couple of weeks ago at my Dad's wake. I have many fond memories of Mr. Gould, Mr. Rodick and my Dad talking politics over a few beers at the kitchen table. Rest in peace and peace to his wonderful family.

To the Gould Family -

With deepest sympathy to your entire family. The name "Bobby Gould" was like a household word in the Shields Family. I am the daughter of Rah Shields and Bobby was probably my dad's best friend in the world. Bobby - please give my love to my dad and have a blast of a reunion in heaven.
