To Annie, Kat and the Agostinihos,
We are saddened to hear of Bongos passing, he was a really great guy, an unbelievable funny story teller, that would have made a great "cajun". So many fish tails, funny songs and lots of belly laughs. Never was there a time that he did not have a smile on his face and kind words to share. We have all been blessed to know such a man. You are in our prayers. RI will never be the same. Lots of love to you all,

Mike, Florence,and kids,
I'm one of the lucky ones. I've grown up 2 doors down. Bobby will be missed by eveyone he touched. God must have fired his drummer, and replaced him with the best! I hope you listen for the laughter, to get through this horrific time. Bob's song will forever be in my soul.
Praying for you all.
