Alli, Tim, Tom & Mahot:
So very sorry about your Dad and brother. Bobby was a great guy who we all have some very fond and fun memory's. He was the best when it came to his DJ day's, nobody kept the party going like Bob. May all your memory's help to bring some comfort and peace to a very difficult time. My prayers are that you find that peace and help each other carry on. Take care and be well.

Dear Kim and Family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Bobby. I will miss him terribly. I remember so many fun times with him. D.J.ing at the Elks, Yacht Clubs, and parties in general. He would always accomadate my requests. Especially "Mack The Knife" He was so well liked. Please know you are all in my heart and prayers at this very difficult time. And I will be thinking of you in the days ahead. Dear Bobby, God looked around his garden and saw an empty space.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes.
He whispered in your ear "Peace Be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide.
You live on through your children, your always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
Rest in peace my friend.
And always remember: 'MACKIE'S BACK'
Love, Vicki :-)
