I have not seen Bob in many years but he was part of my years growing up. Sad to see that he passed. He was so nice and such a great smile. I had such a crush on him in first grade and he knew it.
Robbie was a great guy. He was great to everyone. I knew him when I was younger. I’ve been in touch with him just a little bit so sorry to hear him pass away all my love to the family and boy you are a hot shit Robbie.
I met Robert when I was 14 and he was one of my best friends until I was 20 or so. He helped me rebuild my 1970 Cutlass in my parents garage and change it from an automatic to a standard transmission, just because we were buddies. I will always have him in my thoughts. Also love his sister Patty, they were the best people!
