When I was child I remember my Uncle Bobby riding up to our home to visit and eat dinner with us. When he went to the High School proms he would bring his date to our house for my Mom to take pictures. ( Junior and Senior Prom ) When he was little my Mom and Dad would take him all over with them. When he entered the Marine Corp the night before he left my Mom made homemade ravioli for him. While in the Marine Corp my sister and I used to write to him. He sent my sister an am / fm radio and sent me my first Cassette recorder the first tape I bought was the Jackson 5. There are so many childhood memories I have of my Uncle Bobby. He was my grandmothers pride and joy. All his siblings adored him. He turned out to be a great husband, father and grandfather. Gone to soon. Ha had so much more to give. Rest in Peace Uncle Bobby and my condolences to my Aunt Kathy and Anj and Robby and his loving grandchildren.Blessed Be until we meet again.

Love Nephew Brian K Glancy
