Its been eight years since Ive seen my friend. We started in High School and took Voag class together. Im so Glad I was able to help him when he needed it. Lord knows he would never ask. He was always doing for someone else at his own expense. he exhibited those qualityies that should be shown more often today. There is not a Time I go past the farm and remember such great times. My friend you are so missed. I hope to meet you in Heaven again. Bless you.

Dear Leslie,
Iam so sorry to hear of the passing of Bobby. I will always have fond memories of him as we went through Oakcrest high school together. I will always remember the look on his face when he relized I was marrying his cousin, which would made me a "Hackett". (smiles). I'm very sorry I did not see him in the last couple of years since I moved to Hammonton and no longer could have breakfast at the diner. He was a true friend with a "Heart of Gold" He will be miseed but never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We've known so much of happiness,
we've had our cup of Joy,
And Memory is one gift of God,
That Death cannot destroy
