I first met Bobby when he and my daughter Jessica were sophomores in High School. He became another member of our family, frequently sitting at our table, swimming in the pool or just watching tv.  One of my favorite memories was when he and Jes were eating in the lunchroom at Washington High and football players began throwing food . In the ensuing food fight, Jes was nailed in the head with mashed potato. She then rose up letting the lunchroom know what she thought of the horseplay. Well a football booster had her taken to see the principal. When escorting her out of the lunchroom, her Knight in Shining Armor, Bobby Donoval, jumps in front of them demanding justice for Jessica, to which he too was removed to the principal. Both were threatened with suspension. Well Mrs. Donoval and I, Mrs. Gelman  were not about to have this happen. Our arguement? Where are the food fighters? Why aren't they being disciplined? Well neither Bobby nor Jes received any discipline. I applauded Bobby for sticking up for my girl. I knew he was a very great friend. Just as I know he was the best dad ever. I pray Bobby's children, brother Stevie and all family and friends are comforted by God and granted peace. God bless you all.


I will forever cherish the memories I had with you . And all the dumb /corny dad jokes you made on the 4th of July and at the Christmas parties .  One of my all time favorite memories is from when I was 8 or 9 and you got me and kristina the high school musical sing it game . We were so excited we loved HSM.  

I will miss you so much . But I know in my heart we have another angel looking down on us 💙

R.I.P Bobby, thank you for being a part of my life for so many years , we have had a lot of ups and downs and it wasn’t always good but I am so grateful you were apart of our family and I will treasure the times we were together... please give your mom a hug for me and tell daddy hi, and give dusty my love
