Bobby Jarrell....I remember him at my swimming lessons at Bay Ridge Beach when we were both quite young; I think he might have told the instructor that I wasn't really 'swimming', but pretending to, as I crawled along the sandy bottom! LOL. I loved seeing him off and on over the years -- always cheerful and funny - Chicken Man at the Market House -- he would always slip me some 'bonus' pieces....Gone too Soon, Bobby!

I have known Bobby since 1965. He was one of the regular patrons of Pete's Pool Hall on Main Street - Annapolis. He was a good pool player. He had a good personality and was very quick witted. We would play 9 ball on the first table for a fifty cents a game. We would, on occasion, have a reunion and play pool on Tommy Thompson's pool table. Bobby lived life on his terms. He was fiercely proud of his daughter and would glow when he spoke of her accomplishments. He will be missed.

I DID NOT KNOW "BOBBY" PERSONALLY BUT I CERTAINLY ENJOYED GOING TO CHEEP CHEEP CHICKEN FOR HIS DELICIOUS FRIED CHICKEN. I ESPECIALLY LOVED HIS FRIED LIVERS AND GIZZARDS AND SINCE HIS BUSINESS CLOSED, I HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING COMPARABLE.
