He was not only a boss, but a father figure, a brother, and a friend to everyone that crossed his path. His smile alone, could light up any room that he entered. Bobby's laugh would warm anyone's heart. He always knew exactly what to say, when others needed inspiration. He always made time to be a listening ear to those that needed him. He did so without judgement, but he gave you honest feedback. Bobby was filled with so much love, and poured it into everyone. His loyalty was unmatched.
