Bobby was a dear friend and colleague, who I knew all my life. He always greeted me with a big bear hug. I will miss his smile. The world has lost a wonderful man and nurse and heaven has gained an angel. My prayers go out for his wife, mom & dad, Jan & Bob and his children Maggie and Robert.

I know I am late in hearing this news. I am truly heartbroken. Bob was an amazing person who I knew for MANY years first as a nurse, as a rep, and lastly as a nurse practitioner who was one of the most caring individuals I had the pleasure of knowing. He was a beautiful person inside and out. I wish you peace my friend and I know you are up in the heavens smiling down on us , Rest In Peace, your dedication to
Our profession will be missed. Love you my friend ♥

Bobby was one of my all-time favorite people. His wit, intelligence, sarcasm, kindness, charm and compassion will never be matched. He and I became friends in 2nd grade and continued our friendship through high school, college, marriages, divorces, kids...life. He will truly be missed by all that knew him. My sincerest condolences to his family - he was loved by many.
