What a shock! Bobby was bigger than life growing up in Idlewild. All of us younger kids always looked up to him. We ran into each other in our life and he eventually coached my sons high school baseball team. He touched many lives and never met anyone who wasn't a friend. My prayers are with the family. God bless.

I've known Bobby most of my life. Still remember many Idlewild memories that I will always treasure. He always had a sense of who he was, who he wanted to be and set the bar high. His family has always been of the utmost importance to him and his pride in them was evident in all he did. RIP.
