I am sorry to hear the news of this terrible loss. Bobby and I were classmates, we both lived on Weldon Street, we both drove Mustangs, and we both worked at Winn-Dixie. I recall Bobby, Bo Beaty, and I skiing down at the river. Bobby was always a very positive guy with a great attitude. Again, I am sorry to hear about your loss.
