So very sorry to hear of Bobby's passing just today. I am one of Leland and Betty Pease's daughters. We were first cousins. He lived with us on Jefferson Park Ave. in Charlottesville for a while. I was pretty young but I do remember him. Aunt Mary was my mothers sister. I adored Aunt Mary. Allison and Kathy were friends with Patricia and I and we would sleep over.Great memories. It is a shame we have not seen each other for a long time. But I have thought of all of the family over the years. Rest in peace Bobby.
Love Barbara Pease Wallace.

My condolences to my cousins Allison, Cathy, Ricky and Johnny and your families upon the passing of Bobby. Mary Frances saw this when reading yesterday's paper this morning - or we would have gone to his visitation last night. So sorry for your loss.
