The family would like to extend a special thanks to longtime caregiver and sister-in-law, Michelle Davis, Starr Regional Health and Rehab Center and Hearth Hospice.

I was so lucky and had THE best time following Bobby on roads and trails in the middle of nowhere! He loved playing motorcycle guide,racing Harold the 2.5 miles up 129 from Tapoco to the motorcycle resort, and his kidding around was just infectious. He was kind, he cared and he thought he hit it rich when he met the fire cracker named Karen!!! She proved to be a dedicated, patient caring wife who was always “on call” when Bobby left for a ride!!! Your journey together was beautiful though tough just like you both! I am honored to have shared a portion of his life. May peace find you both now. Much love! Tina
