  2. Sad to hear about Bobby’s death. I remember him in high school as a smiling, happy person. Apparently he retained that persona throughout his life. He was the type of person that we need today. I am sorry that he is gone. My condolences to his family. =

  11. So very sorry to learn of Bobby’s passing. I was in Texas City today, Dec.11, 2021 and tried to call. Your number was no longer working. I would have attended the service if I had known. Bobby was always special to me, as we officiated high school football on the same crew for many years. No idea how to reach you.
