I'm saddened to hear of Bobby's passing, my thoughts are with his family and his friends. I knew Bobby from our days at the West Annapolis Fire Department. We did many calls together.

I am so sorry for your loss, Joy. I remember how kind he was, driving me to BWI, after visiting my Dad. Bob was a great guy, and I know you will miss him terribly. May you find some comfort with your memories of the many years you shared. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
