On behalf of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Alumni Association and Brother Martin High School, I offer our prayers and condolences. We will say a Mass in his memory.

Father of all, we pray to you for Bob, and all those we love but see no longer. Grant to them eternal rest. Let light perpetually shine upon them. May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

I remember Bobby as a funny, joyful guy. He was a friend of my brother, Eddie Connelly. The "fish tales" were always funny. Mr. Sensebe, Bobby's Dad and my Dad grew up together in the "Old 9th Ward" where our families shared happy times. Sorry to hear of his passing and I pray that his family takes comfort in good memories. Prayers for his loved ones, and comfort in the Lord.
