While I did not know Bobbie, I know a lot about him through his sister Joann, both what she has told us about him and how she herself demonstrates what a wonderful family they were both born into.

My wife, Marly, joins me in expressing our sincere condolences to the family. May you all be sustained by enduring memories of happy times together.
