Bobby was a young man who had a talent for making everyone around him feel better. He had a quick and infectious smile that made everyone who met him feel at home. He was as comfortable speaking with you - whether you were 6 or 70.

Bobby had a tremendous love for athletics. He watched every game of the Green Bay Packers, Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks. He studied the sports page each morning and memorized statistical information about his favorite teams. He wanted to be a sports announcer. At 12 years old, Bobby won the Little Ceasars' Announcer of the Game for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He got to announce the 3rd inning for the Diamaondbacks and did a wonderful job.
