RIP Coach Bobby.
I´ll never forget the game you were upset with your cornerback so you told me, your 250 pound DE to start at corner.
You never ceased to amaze me as well as challenge me on the field.
You had a great defensive mind and you're going to be missed coach. Rest easy

He was my coach who didn´t remember my name at first then he started letting me play and I never said no when he asked me to play for any team he coached. I coached with him and loved him and knew that a grouchy old man knew the game of football and taught me all the great things about football and how not to be as pugnacious (kind word) as he used to be. He will always be a legend to me and I can´t hug him or thank him enough for being my friend coach and tutor. I will love you forever Bobby. Thank you and may God keep you in his hands and remember your name. You were not the best looking man but I will love you forever.
