My memory of Bobby is when we were so young and innocent. Bobby and Dorsie was so in love. Charles and I were newlyweds. May Bobby rest in peace.

Bobby and I are second cousins. His mother Ruth, my grandmother Laura, and my great aunt Grace were sisters. Aunt Grace brought Gwen, Bobby and Kevin to Baltimore to live. Bobby instantly became my big brother who taught me how to fight. I loved the time we spent together and was very upset when he left Baltimore. We lost contact but I never forgot him. We permanently reconnected in 2018 when Gwen passed and immediately connected with his daughter Gwen. Bobby let me know that I was the only female that got away with going upside his head (lol). I'm sad about his passing but realize he is truly at peace now. I'm also sad that I'm unable to physically attend the service and meet the rest of the family. Rest in peace Bobby and I will keep in communication with Gwen and your brother Kevin. I love you.

I met my cousin Bobby when he and his sister Gwen and brother Kevin, moved to our relatives in Baltimore, Md. He became like a big brother to me teaching me how to protect myself. He suddenly left Baltimore and we reunited after Gwen's passing. We stayed in touch sharing special conversations until he left to go home to glory. I'll miss him, but am happy to have a relationship with daughter Gwen. I'm sorry I'm not able to attend the service. Bobby will always be remembered. He said I am the only female who got away with hitting him upside his head (lol) Love you family and hope to meet the rest of you. Praying you stay strong in the Lord. Cousin Loretta.
