My Deepest Condolences to the Reda Family, Bobby was a good, honest, caring man. One on the most sincerely compassionate people I will ever have had the privilege of calling my friend! Although he had a tough exterior he was a big teddy bear at heart. What a terrible loss, he will be sorely missed. Bobby you will always be loved and remembered. Rest in peace.
