    Dear Brother Bobby, I will always remember your beautiful voice that you so seldom shared with others and your quirky sense of humor. The different way you perceived the world to be. I loved hanging out with all your artsy friend's from Chadds Ford. Going to Sunset Park and Lenape Park. Watching you and Jimmy Lynch box and then end up getting mad and actually fist fighting only to remain friends the next day. There wasn't alot I knew about you since there was more than a 10 year gap in age, but what know and remembered I will treasure. Until we meet again on the other side. love you Nomie

    Uncle Bobby: I didn’t know you that well but I do remember my solid silver bangle you made me when I was I kid. I wore it every day and when I was bigger it got to small and my dad had to cut it off. I kept that bangle till I was 28 years old. Unfortunately, it was stolen in a break-in. I sure do wish I had it now. You were very talented. Rest In Peace.

    I was blessed with many late night phone calls concerning stargazer tents, what possibilities life held, and lots of jokes in a French accent. His humor and encouragement opened my eyes to doing what I wanted with life and not settling for what others wanted me to be. I wish I had known him better.
