I was a friend of Bob's at Hillcrest Elementary School and visited his house across the street a few times. Was a good kid and sorry to see he has passed.

Bob and I rode the same bus daily to good ole EHS and became good friends along our 3 year journey and graduated together as well. He was a great athlete, a kind and humorous individual that I will always remember fondly... Rest in peace fellow Trojan and one day we will
meet again!
