Very sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. We were friends through the Eagles for over 30 years and shared a love for Beach Music and Oldies. Equally disheartening to have been out-of-town at the time of the services.

We were truly saddened to learn of Bobby's passing. Some of the most fun times in memory were during the Navy days stationed in Charleston, SC with him. Lots of laughs, loads of fun. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
