Not sure what to say?

Bobby was a wonderful cherished friend from the time we were in kindergarten throughout our adult life. We grew up together and is always remembered fondly by my family. His passing, way too soon, was tragic. Bobby will never be forgotten.

I am not sure if this is same Robert Bobby Slade .I knew we went to elementary school at the original Woodmont Elementary School on N Fillmore Street before it was torn down and rebuilt . May he rest in peace. Norma Jean Vint was my name back then .

Bobby and Mike were both mentors to the younger guys at W-L. We looked up to those fellas and held them in high regard both on and off the playing field. Growing up around the corner from them, Bobby was my Sister Nancy's contemporary and Mike my Sister Terri's age. I still have fond memories of both. RIP Bobby.

My condolences to Bobby's family and friends on your loss. He touched many in the course of his life and will be remembered.

I will miss you Bobby. You were a good friend and teammate. I will always remember our time together at Stewart Buick, Hot Shoppes and the local pubs.

RIP from the FICCO family.

Rest in Peace Bobby....Just knowing you was an experience...Enjoyed our time as kids on Stewart Buick, and inheriting your 3rd base position. Enjoyed your sense of humor in classes we shared at W-L and our occasional visits at your restaurants. Though it had been many years, I was so glad to reconnect with you a little over a year ago once again. You did good my friend and left behind a beautiful family that loves you!

Bobby,
Known you since we were 8, playing baseball in the county league with your brother Mike, on Stewart Buick, a championship team that even sent a fellow player to the Pros.
We didn't cross paths in life much after our youth, but nice to see that, outside the restaurants, you also had a beautiful family.
R.I.P
old friend.

Such very sad news. Bobby was a role model for me as a youngster growing up around the corner. All the underclassmen looked up to him and his amazing athletic abilities. RIP my friend. Thoughts and prayers with the family.
