Many, many fond memories ! Bobby & I hired into New Departure about the same time and we retired the same day ! We worked together on a few production lines ( especially 'the lambs') and then we both entered the trades. I was a plumber/pipefitter and either worked with Bobby or saw him on a daily basis. We always parted ways with a laugh about something - Bobby had a great sense of humor !
Warmest Sympathies to Bobby's family.
