My husband, Paul, and I worked with Bobby at Three Mile Island during the 1980's and we remained friends since then. We arranged a surprise birthday party for him when he turned 80. I will need to find those pictures and post a few. The funny thing was that originally we told him it was our son's birthday party (10/2) and we were half way through this party before he realized the party was for him. He was a character and always had a story or a joke to tell. We will miss him. Rest in peace, Bobby. You are forever in our hearts.
