I was out of town for the holidays and was saddened to learn of Bobby's death upon our return. We served together in Air Evac. NCANG, and I feel fortunate to have known and served with him. He was a good friend, a good man, a great role model for our younger troops and a true patriot. My sympathies to his family.
