My heart felt condolences to the family of Bobby. He was a classmate and fellow wrestler and football team mate. He as a fine representative of the class of 1967.

I remember Bobby Swain from my NBHS class of 1967 as a friend I enjoyed being with. He was smart, strong, and intense, but never quite at peace with this world. We loved to cruise in his 1967 GTO convertible singing Bar Bar Barbara Ann to chase the blues away. I wish we had one last ride together.

Dear Billy and Jimmy,
Everyone should have the wonderful childhood memories that were made on Rhem Avenue. I can't talk about growing up without talking about Gracie and her brothers.
Yall were always up to something. Either trying to drown me & Gracie at "The Pecan pool", locking us in the garage, or suckering us in to first up in the field baseball game. And who can forget Bobby lifting weight, hitting that hanging punch ball, and practicing karate for hours.
May those...
