As a former SWD Class of '64 member, I lost contact with "Bobby" years ago. I never forgot him though, as he always had a smile and no matter how tough the day was going. By any standards he was a great guy! I join you in remembering his way to short life and hope the memories of his life will help abate your sorrow.
Sincerly,
"Buddy" Corriher
