Not sure what to say?

It was a sad day when we heard of Bobby's passing. He was a great guy & a wonderful contributor to the world of Saxophone through his music & mouthpieces.
Our deepest sympathy is extended to Jeanne, Deedra & all his family & friends.
He will be fondly remembered.
Rocky Giglio, Bill Reglein & all the JJ Babbitt family

I had great conversations with him ,and his knowledge of saxophone and his products have helped me greatly throughout my career ,,my best regards to his family,, he will be missed tremendously in the music world.

Jean and Deedra and family:
Your husband and father was a special friend to me when I was a younger man. I will miss his humor and mentoring. He set me on the road to be a talented recording engineer.

I met Bobby only a few times and we were only acquaintances, but I have admired and respected Bobby for many years as an excellent musician, sound engineer, mouthpiece maker (inventor), and gentleman. It was an honor to have him engineer a "demo" for a group I played in some years ago. His passing is a loss to the music world. May God bless him and comfort his family.

mAY 9,2012-BOBBY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY FRIST RECORD BEING RECORDED IN MIAMI. MY NANE IS TIMMY THOMAS AND I SOLD OVER 6,000,000 RECORDS WORLD WIDE WITH A SONG CAlled 'why can,t we live together'. I DID IT AT HIS STUDIO AND MY CAREER STARTED THAT DAY. I OWE MY MUSIC TO BOBBY. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND

I didn't know Bobby personally but my first big time tenor mouthpiece was a Dukoff D series and I still have a D5 I use on alto for rock. When I dropped the tenor piece, he very graciously repaired it (or maybe replaced it) in a hurry.

I have tremendous respect for Bobby's extraordinary skills.

The family is in my prayers.

May God bless the family of Bobby on their loss and we will sincerely miss him and know that he is resting in a better place.
