So sorry of Bobby´s passing. He was really a nice guy. I met him while bowling in Seymour. He had a buddy when bowling, I just can´t remember who that was.

Robin and family, please accept my prayers and condolences. I got to work with Bob in 1991 when he was working for my Dad, Larry Holbrook. He was fun to work with and made the day go faster.
