Nancy and family- I was saddened to hear of Bobbie’s passing. He had been a friend from elementary school thru high school. Did ‘t see him a lot but our paths crossed several times throughout the years. He always had a smile and we enjoyed talking about good old times on the Northside.He was a gem. Rest in peace my friend. Nancy & family , you will be in my prayers.
