"I’m torn between heartbreak and relief — heartbreak that he’s gone, but relief that his pain is finally over and he can rest. My blue-eyed Bobby — the love of my life — fought every battle with strength, courage, and that unmistakable spark of humor that made him who he was. Together, we faced every obstacle life put in our path, always hand in hand, always finding a way to laugh, even through the hardest moments. But in the end, cancer took him from me.

Bobby had a heart as big as his smile and a goofy sense of humor that could light up any room. He was quick-witted and never missed a chance to make someone laugh — whether it was one of his silly sayings like “Where’s my schmengy?” or a perfectly timed “Dave’s not here!” He brought laughter and love everywhere he went.

He found his peace in life’s simple pleasures — camping under the stars, casting a line into the quiet waters, and escaping the chaos of the city for the calm of small-town life. The outdoors was his sanctuary, and he cherished every moment spent surrounded by nature and those he loved most.

Of all his joys, none compared to his four beautiful grandkids, who lit up his world and filled his days with pride and laughter. They were his greatest treasures.

Bobby passed peacefully, his final words a whisper of love — “I love you” — spoken to the one who held his heart, the love of his life.
He will forever be my everything — my heart, my joy, my laughter, my Bobby"
