Bainbridge Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of a wonderful husband, father and brother.He was a great guy that always had a smile and hello for everyone. Bobby coached my son in football for many years and he was looked up to by the kids he coached. I remember watching him on the field encouraging the kids with a pat on the back. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
