Bob's charming smile attracted us towards him. His contagious happiness made us always want to be around him. And his love and appreciation of life was... well... simply inspiring. Thank you for sharing a chapter of your life with me. You will always hold a special place in my heart.

We met Bobby through our then neighbor; Glenn Davis (who has known Bobby since they were 13 years old). Glenn called to tell me that Bobby was sick and I immediately called my friend to see what we could do for him. We laughed and we cried and I told him to get better quickly so that he could get back to California to visit. Our last words to each other were "I love you Brother and I'll see you soon". There is no doubt that I will see him soon...life is short (even if you live to 100). As I told Glenn an hour after Bobby passed; "there are people that have said bad things about you and there are people that have said bad things about me; but I've never heard ANYBODY say anything bad about Bobby".
Bobby; I'll never forget that last conversation and I hope that you're among the angels that welcome me home...I love you Brother and I'll see you soon!!

California was a better place when you came to visit...your kindness and friendship meant the world to our family and we feel blessed to have been a small part of your world for so many years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Bobby was truly one of the best guys any of us have ever met. Everyone loved Bobby. From the young to the old, from the poor to to the rich, from Florida to California. Bobby had more friends and people that liked him all over the world than anyone I have ever met. I met him and his family over 35 years ago. I feel lucky to have had him in my life as often as I did. He was a welcomed guest at my home in California whenever he came to town for over a decade. There are many, many great times and laughs over the years. He was such a kind, likeable person who will be truly missed by all.
