My sincere condolences to you Joey, Patti, and the rest of your family.  Bobby seemed to be unfairly cursed with so much in his life, but those curses were beautifully off-set by the blessing he had in you as his brother and caretaker. You and all those close to you who helped should be proud of the way you shouldered the years of burden with such love and devotion.  You were a great brother.  Rocky Creek won't ever be the same for me.  RIP Bobby.

Bobby was a kind soul.  Joey, you are a saint.

May your memories remain strong and your pain weak with each passing moment!  Our sincere sympathy for the loss of your precious brother.

Joey, God bless you my friend! Bobby was truly blessed to have you for his brother as you no doubt feel blessed to have him as well. May his sweet soul rest in peace!

Peace, love and strength to all.  RIP Bobby, you will be missed.

Bobby, you are in our hearts and minds. I remember him as a young adult rallying for causes and Brad remembers him as a mischievous child/adolescent. All our memories are precious. Peace & Love, Y & B

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family, Joey.

Prayers go out to you and your family. Heaven gained yet another great soul this week.

Prayers, love and hugs, Joey.  God speed, Bobby!

Bobby didn't just march to the sound of a different drummer, he danced wildly to the sound of a full symphonic orchestra from the planet Zornon!  Knowing Bobby was a gift.  And yeah, I lost a lot of chess games to him too.

We shared a stage togehter in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Robert would quip about life imitating art with him playing an inmate in an isane asylum. A tender sweet guy with an incredible mind, a quirky sense of humor and a mind far beyond the rest of us. Fare Well, old friend.

Bobby was a good and gentle man. The torment of your beautiful mind has passed.I'm sure you have heard the Lord say, ""Well done My good and faithful servant".Rest in peace my friend
