I will always remember his long prayers at Christmas and Thanksgiving, and then everyone would say "AMEN" in unison. Bobby knew what he was praying, and so did God

Bobby and my sister Barbi Simon were friends and graduates of Ruby Van Meter Class of 1977, and they went to Slinker together through 1972. I'd see him occasionally at Link Associates work and socials over the years. He was a "leader" in whatever he did!
Prayers to his family.

Bobs ham supreme was always good for a chuckle. He always had an eye out to make sure you were watching. Our family knows the Bobbyism words like: Balt (salt) Veeve (Steve). But I will always be his Baby Gaye.
