Not sure what to say?

Bobby J Jumper Junior - always loved; always missed. I have a picture of him in my home office - he´s holding our daughter Eliza when she was about 5 months old. He is beaming.

So hard to believe it´s been 15 years. He was the cause and the reason for so much laughter in my life - we actually fell off a bar stool or two, just cracking ourselves up. There are way too few people like Bobby in the world

Bobby, your presence remains strong in the hearts of those who love and cherish you. Your smile and laugh, your kindness and love live on with us. You are missed and loved infinitely.

Just hit me that he was only 51 the last time I saw Bobby. Now I´m yelling down the corridor at 60. Unbelievable. There have been 10,000,000 things I wish I could have shared with him. Will never forget any of the times we had.

Bobby was one of my best friends in high school. We spent a lot of time together having fun and occasionally getting in trouble with our moms. After high school we sort of drifted apart, got busy living our own lives and eventually lost contact. My mom liked Bobby a lot and even into her 80s and suffering with dementia she would occasionally ask “How’s your friend Bobby Jumper doing?”
Sadly I didn’t know that Bobby passed away. I want send my long overdue condolences to his family....

Awwww, Bobby, twelve years now? That doesn't seem possible. I still have not met another person more caring, positive, fun to be with, just plain good. No matter the distance, you'll always be held close in my heart and in those of many others who love you always. Until next time...

Eleven years gone, Bobby, I still cant wrap my head around it. Your distinctive laugh still rings out loud, your big smile is as vivid as ever, your friendship still holds strong. You are missed more than you could have imagined. Peace & love to you, Bobby. Well see you around the next bend.

Bobby, of course, had a saying for any occasion. If you were taking too long to get ready, it would be, Hurry up every chance you get because he was ready to leave on out of here. If you called his name to get his attention, he'd say Tell me. And, famously, if you stayed out in the sun too long and got dizzy, he'd say the Fuzzy Man jumped on you! He is still so much alive in so many people's hearts and minds. We just miss seeing that smiling face.

Haven't looked here in a long time, but here I am reading all the entries with tears in my eyes. Seeing Bobby's face is giving me chill bumps. And a smile on my face to recall him. Love to you always, Bobby J....
