I just found out today that a good friend and former co-worker passed away recently. Bobby and I worked together several years at RGV Sugar Growers and I am so sorry to hear he is no longer with us. Bobby could make you laugh even if you were having one of your worst days. But he is in a better place where there is no pain and no worries anymore. May you rest in peace Bobby. My prayers are with his family.
