He was my childhood classmate and through high school. He was kind and quiet. When I recently was able to connect with him after 5O yrs, we picked up our friendship and the years for me melted away. He will always be BOBBY. I am so sad for Gloria, Patti and his sons , no words are adequate. Through his posts, I feel I have gained new friends.
