Linda and family, Bobby will be sorely missed by all who knew him. We especially remember him telling us the story of his car ending up through the garage into the house after hitting the next-door neighbor's car and him saying don't tell your mom. We still get a laugh remembering him telling that story like no other could.

Love Paul & Donna Lee Pozorski
