His warm smile and kind demeanor made everyone feel special, as he touched many hearts and lives! He was a special young man who loved everyone. He enjoyed listening to music, especially Elvis, he loved to dance, draw and paint. Thursdays were always special to Bobby, as he and his care giver Lisa had a standing date to go to the park and feed the animals. He was famous for the BEST hand massages, back rubs and compliments (especially to pretty girls). His favorite gift was money to add to his billfold. Although we all knew he was hurting, he never complained. When we would ask him how he was doing, he would always answer “Just Fine”. Robert loved going to his sister Arleen’s house because he could have as much coffee or soda as he wanted. He would stay several hours, but looked forward to going home to tell his housemates, Patty and Alice about his day. Bobby loved watching cartoons just like his sister Rosie. I guess it’s just a relaxing thing to do… no worries in the world.

Robert, aka Bobby will be truly missed by many as he already has his place in heaven.

Pallbearers are: Carl Armijo, George Robeda, Geno Lopez Jr. Damon Abeyta-Vigil, Mark Apodaca and James Harmes
