My condolences to the family. I'm going to miss seeing Bobby. I met Bobby 22 years ago at McDonald's in the village. We became friends. He use to tell me when he saw me that he was going to have his guitar πΈ the next time he sees me. I use to see him on a regular basis when I use to ride the city bus home from work. Take your wings πͺ½ and fly high my friend ππ. Another beautiful soul has left this world π. DEBRA HARRIS
I met Bobby some years ago here in Raleigh. He was always such a wonderful man to talk with. He was full of compassion and loved playing music on his guitar. He touched lots of people during his life and will be sorely missed by many. RIP dear brother. You were a good man.
I met Bobby many years ago..the late 70's. He was a friend of my brothers as well. Everytime I see him I'd ask how he was doing and if he was taking his meds. He always asked about Kirk and then I told him one day that Kirk passed. He was saddened. I always give bobby a few dollars each and every time I saw him. He was always so nice. God Bless his soul. 50 years of seeing Bobby and now he's gone. He's ok now. My condolences to the family. I'm gonna miss looking for him and seeing him.
You will definitely be missed friend you and your guitar S.I.P my friend πποΈ
