Bobby has always been very dear to me.
His easy manner, his ability to get me laughing and also to cause David (his brother) and I to argue and then he would walk out the door with a smile on his face. Trouble maker but we loved him.
He will be missed by his wife and many but especially his nephews and niece. Uncle Bob was the best.!!! Love you Bob and don’t cause any trouble wherever and we will catch up to you someday.
Love, Betty
