I had the pleasure of having him as an instructor for one session. I even did a ride-along with him and I learned a lot from him. Thank you for your service and rest in peace.

A great loss of a super person, that was Bobby. I would run in to him on the road or down at Central and he would always yell at me saying "howdy old fellow, have a great day". Words I will never forget. My deepest and sincerest condolences to all his family.
