Bobby and I met in 1974 when I first went to went to work at Central Motor Parts (NAPA).
He was working in the Wellton
store. We became friends immediately. He called me cherry right from the gate.
We worked together for many years. Come to find out, Bobby was coaching my sister Tina´s softball team at the time.
Bobby had more friends than you could ever count. He loved his family, friends, church and his god.
I remember when he was in the Nights of Columbus. We used to watch him march in the parades.
He was an integral part of our community.
He would stop and say hello anytime we crossed paths. Boy he liked to talk.
We will miss you dearly Bobby.
We love you.
Heaven is your home now.
