I am so very sorry for your loss of Bobby. It hurts to have this loss to one of the kindness families I have ever known. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and will continue. May God grant you strength during this time.
I first met Bobby when he was an employee for Glazers Winery. I was the Receiving Manager at United he came a couple of times to deliver even tho it wasn’t his job position. I met him he was kind and very polite and sweet later on I found out he was dating my cousin Jennifer so I quickly introduced myself and his face lit up to know family of Jenn. He was a very nice man and very sweet. I know his family and close friends will miss him especially my cousin Jenn. My condolences to everyone whom know him he is in a better place. Everyday the world becomes worse and difficult let’s all take this opportunity to give your heart to God and form a relationship with him so we have peace in our hearts in this difficult time of loss. Prayers for everyone God Bless.
