Bobby and I went to school together from first grade till we graduated from Kofa High. I will always remember how he hopped along the stage at McGraw School as Frosty the Snow Man. He was the star of the show. As far as I can remember Bobby has always been a soft spoken man-always jolly and happy. When I would see him operating his street sweeper he would give me a special wave. I'll always remember that. Looking at all his photos with his family - he was a blessed man! I will miss our conversations. To his family I am sorry for your loss.

To the Zermeno Family:
I didn't know Mr. Zermeno "BOBBY" But I did work with his daughter Sonja. Our thoughts & Prayers are with the whole Family...•God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
GOD Bless you all...Joe Gonzalez & Fam.

I have known Bobby since 1st grade back at McGraw Elementary, almost 46 years. We used to play baseball on the same team when we were kids. I remember Bobby being this quiet, yet gentle soul.
Rest in peace, Bobby
