We lived across the street from the Cruzados on Garden Ave. They were a very nice family. I didn't know Bobby until I joined the wrestling team at LCCC where he was our team captain. He was a great leader and good friend. I've often thought of our time together travelling to different wrestling venues. He helped me and other teammates a lot and he will be missed. So sorry for his loss and my sympathies to his family.

MY DEEPEST HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF BOBBY CRUZADO. MEMORIES FROM THE GOOD OLD DAYS IN THE LORAIN DRIVE AND 19TH COURT PROJECT DAYS WILL LINGER FOR A LONG TIME, REST IN PARADISE MY FRIEND. IRIS TORRES

Bobby was not only a good friend but also a 1966 Admiral King classmate, and a “brother” of the 21st street project “gang”. I am sadden by his passing and send out my deepest sympathies to Kathy, his family, and friends. After being away from Lorain for 50 years, I had a chance to reconnect with Bobby three years ago and other project friends. It was great to be with him again and the other men who have a shared history of living in the project as well as having attended AKHS. Bobby was a great athlete and a person who was respected and loved by those who grew up knowing him. After AKHS, I really got to know Bobby well as we both attended Lorain County Community College (LCCC). Bobby had a reputation as a tough guy but somehow he managed to endear himself to my mother. She thought the world of him and he in turn reciprocated in kind. Bobby will be missed abundantly no doubt. May he rest in peace and may all his family and friends find comfort, strength, and peace in the days ahead. God bless you.
