To Peggy & Bob & Bobbys family, and those who loved him,
I worked with Bobby at Potters for awhile. He would come into work before his shift started and come downstairs n talk. We would laugh, and cut up. I trained him on drawers. He had such a great great personality. I will always remember laughing with him. His loss is felt greatly by those who knew him, & it was an honor to say I knew him. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

To Bob, Peggy and family: This is so heartbreaking and unbelievable. I am very glad that Bobby and I reconnected a few years ago and that I was able to give him a hug one last time before he returned to Florida. He was an adorable, sweet child who turned into a loving, sweet young man. He will always hold a special place in my heart. Carol
