I just learned of this. Bobby was a good friend. We both did housing authority audits and were dedicated to the industry. I always enjoyed seeing and talking with him at the LV conference. I´m sure he is sadly missed. My condolence to his family.

Met Bobby in 81 via a friend for my tax prep. Through the years, I always looked forward to our annual sit down and visit.
He was always upbeat, jovial, helpful and became a close ally. His expertise and leadership were always very helpful and he became part of my family. I will miss him and his smile and discussing Alabama football. If there is a Red Elephant fan club in Heaven, Bobby will be on the front row! My thoughts are with his family for their loss and I feel fortunate to have had his assistance and friendship for 40 years.
