My dad (William Huntt, son of Ella Huntt Catherine's sister) was Bobby's older cousin. We visited their house for holidays and family get together.
Bobby shared a lot of information on the family genealogy with my mother
Libby which was passed to me. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know he'll be missed.
