Bobby was born in Boston on October 29th, 1961 and grew up in Holbrook graduating from Holbrook High School with the Class of 1979.

Also survived by his sister in law Brenda Sweeney; his nephew Patrick Sweeney and nieces Kerri Sweeney, Kathryn Quinn Soley and Kelly Quinn and several grandnieces and grandnephews. Bobby also leaves behind Abigail his "adopted" yellow lab who brought him much comfort and joy sharing walks and their mutual love of ice cream.
