I was a student at Eastmoor High School when Bobby worked there. He was a favorite of all the athletes and probably the entire student body. We would kid Bobby and he would joke back with us. He was a friend to all of us and we looked up to Bobby Boyd.

PaPa Willie,
We were all blessed to have you in life. You will be sadly missed and we hate to see you go. Only God and time can heal the pain in our hearts. We trust and believe in him to see each of us through this time as he has in the past. You tell the others hello and give them all kisses for me. Tell Derick his baby Sister misses him much. We had a special cheer that would always make you laugh, so here it goes...Shish Boom Bah, Shish Boom Bah, Monique, Monique don't go far!!! PaPa I'm right here! Love you always

Donna-Jean, Yvonne, Yvette, and Bobby Jr. My sympathy goes out to all four of you. I will always have good memories of Bobby. He made me smile and laugh as a child, and I will miss seeing him, sitting on his front porch on warm summer evenings on 17th Avenue.
May God bless and comfort you all!

Your cousin,
Judy Taite (Mayo)
