I worked with Bobby at CSX for 5 years. He always made people laugh and to have a good time and carry on. Bobby was always gleeful and his laughter was contagious. For the past year or so I had been trying to track him down since we lost connection. I was so sad to hear at dinner time that his name was read in the obituaries. Bob was always talking about the good Lord and feared him. I have no doubt in my mind that he is with angels and among the presence of Great Lord.
