Summer and family, I was very sad to hear the news of Bobby's passing. I have always considered him a good friend. He and I have had some interesting conversations over the years and always looked forward to that day of sitting down and playing some guitar with him. Bobby was a quiet person that loved his family dearly, and almost always he never failed to mention one or more of them when we talked. He will certainly be missed. If there is anything that I can ever do please don't hesitate to let me know. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
