Pat, I was so sorry to learn Bobby passed away. It seems like you were both just in the office. I will always remember Bobby's soft spoken sense of humor. He was a very kind man. I consider it a privilege to have been a very small part of his medical care. My sympathy to your family. Take care Pat. Marilyn (Junction Medical)
