RIP my friend.. I´ll miss our frequent phone conversations...always positive regardless of situation, and always grateful to God for his grace and mercies...

God bless

For my dearest friend bobby, where do I begin? My life is blessed to call you my friend, 'brother' mentor and confident. From school ways to 'marching days', and 'oh-so-many double dates' with our girlfriends, these memories I will never forget. Mostly I'll never forget you asking me to be Best Man at your Wedding! I've taken, honored and cherished this 'gift' my entire life. Peace to you and Michele, love, gabe, nyc 1/12/26
