Praying for extra comfort during this difficult time. Bobby was a wonderful example of a father and husband. (I always wanted that El Camino!)
Jackie and I are sad to hear that Bobby has past. I can truly say that Bobby and Betty were the best neighbors that any one could have. I remember Bobby with that big chew in his jaw.
Our memories will stay with us forever. Love ya. Stan & Jackie.
