Bobby was a wonderful man I worked with for many years. He was sweet to me funny and I enjoyed every conversation we had. We joked together about both being redheads, or as we would say gingers. He looked out for me if he noticed I did not have sunscreen on and get onto me about not putting it on regularly. I really enjoyed just listening to him, and the other guys tell their stories. You will be missed Bobby.
