I have known Bobby and Cherie since June of 1978 when I first got stationed at Williams Air force Base in Arizona. They would become great friends forever, and will always stay in my heart. I just spent 9 days with them and got to see Jennifer, Jonathan and Kelly, as well as Dale and Debbie Sykes, Mike Memoli, and Robert Orefice. We had a really great time and I am grateful that I came to Arizona to visit with them. I will miss Bobby and Cherie forever and will think of them with love. My deepest sympathy, Brian Arth

Bob and I were about 10 years old when we first crossed paths. In the following eight years, we would ride countless miles around Arlington on our bikes. We spent countless nights camping out along the St. John's river or in one of many forts built by the neighborhood 'clan'. We worked together on summer jobs like the concession stand at the local drive-in theatre; building above ground pools; home construction and making signs for Jax Liquors at Henry Cook's sign shop. Somewhere around the 10th grade Bob met Cherie - and they were inseparable from that time forward. Just prior to our senior year in high school, Cherie moved to South Florida and Bob would drive to Plantation to see her. I went on a handful of those trips with him. She was - as I saw it - the best thing that ever happened to him. They married after high school and left for Arizona. We've had a few get together visits over the years - always the same Bob and Cherie! With Bob you had to be on your game and you always knew where you stood. He had a sharp wit and a sense of self confidence that was off the charts. I'm grateful for those memories of Bob and Cherie and the Price family. Thank you Bob - you have been and always will be my friend. See ya on the other side.....

In the summer of 1978 Dale frequently spent time at Bob and Cherie´s apartment. Dale and Bob were stationed at Williams Air Force Base. At the time I was working with Cherie at Dr Okun´s office. So Bob and Cherie decided to have us both over for a blind date at their apartment for dinner and to watch SNL. Dale and I have now been married 43 years. We have stayed in touch with them over all these years. Cherie and I went to Elton John´s Final Tour Concert in November 2022. We had a great time singing out load together to all the oldies from our younger days! Bob and Cherie invited Dale and I over for dinner on July 15, 2023. Brian Arth (from their Air Force days) was in town visiting also. We all had a very nice visit. Dale and I taught them how to play the card game "Golf" and had some great laughs! I will always talk about the amazing steak Bob cooked that night. It was and always will be the best steak I have ever eaten!
Rest in Peace Bob and Cherie wrapped in God´s loving arms together, until we meet again.

As cousins growing up, my sisters and I visited often in Jacksonville with Bobby and his brothers and sisters. Those wonderful times are forever etched in my memory. May Bobby and his wife rest in peace. My condolences are with his children and grandchildren. Praying for all our family. May each hold their own fond memories close. With love.
