I've known Bobby every since we were teenages. Him and Mickey taught alot of us how to do the hussle. He was a great dancer amd best friend to all of us. We lost touch thur the years but would see each other from time to time and share laughs about growing up. Good-bye my friend and I know God is there for you. My condolences to the family.

Bobby was a person of unique passion for the fellow man. He gentleness and compassion for others will always stay in my mind. He could teach a person about life, how to deal with people, and about finding oneself. He will be missed.

Your time spent in the journey doesn't measure your essence, nor does the distance covered. What measures a man is how he lived his life and how he played his God-given part. I miss you big brother and am inspired all the more by having shared this world with you, albeit for only a short while. God bless you Bobby, I love you and miss you immensely.

Although we both worked at SAMC, I seldom saw Bobby as he was at the warehouse & I worked in the main building. I did, however, speak with him via phone on many occasions & he was always helpful & kind. I extend my condolences to family & friends. May precious memories coupled with God's love bring comfort now as well as in the future.
