Not sure what to say?

Basic training at Fort Bliss, then AIT at Huachuca in Arizona. Bobby was (and still is) a stand-up guy/gentleman. GOD has his protective embrace around Bobby for eternity.. Bobby was just a kid back then, about two years younger than myself - and I am now 80+..When the time comes, it will be my honor to kneel down (might need some help getting up), and dust off his spikes.

Bobby and I were in basic training together at Fort Bliss Texas. I still have the basic training year book with his picture

The most clutch player in baseball history and the finest person to ever wear a uniform.

It´s hard to believe it´s been 15 years since Bobby passed away. It still hurts to think about it. He was such a exceptional human being. My best to his family and friends. We miss you Bobby.

As we approach the 15th Anniversary of the passing of Bobby Ray, I just want to take time to honor Bobby once again . Although I never met Bobby , I learned quite a bit from him . I watched him play on TV and when I went to Yankee games and admired how he handled himself on and off the field . The world lost a true gentleman 15 years ago but Heaven gained an outstanding Man . Continue to rest easily and peacefully Bobby Ray , you are with us in spirit . GOD Bless you for all of eternity .

My sincere condolences to Kay and the rest of the Murcer family. You were a GREAT YANKEE ! Rest easy Bobby .
