I'm so sorry for your loss. Bobby brought great music in to many lives, I talked to you once many years ago Amber. You also shared pictures with me of Bobby with Keith. Thank you for that.

Bobby,,,Treasured by those who knew Him. An inspiration, genuine soul, and champion of the Sax. You and Your loving family will live in our heart and prayers. God Bless

I got the chance to meet him twice. First when my uncle was in the Stones horn section and then again at a local theather for a showing of Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll. He was a really nice man and will be missed dearly.

I met Bobby Keys in 1980 and I was in a tribute band in Los Angeles called The Rolling Clones. He was so kind to me and even wore a Rolling Clones button that we were giving away. Will never forget that night! Just a down to earth great guy . He will truly be missed!
