I am so saddened to hear of Bobby's passing. We grew up together from the age of 12. When we were 13 we got a job at the Fairfax Rod and Gun Club making $20.35 for an 8hr day. Our main duties were pulling skeet/trap, keeping targets in the machines and keeping the trash empty at all of the ranges. We even learned to drive automobiles because we had to take the van "The Green Hornet" to the lower ranges to empty the trash cans. The green hornet had three speed on the column which you really don't see anymore. We thought we were the coolest guys in the world because we could drive. Bobby always loved animals and one time we found a duck's nest on the edge of the large ponds on the lower ranges. We would go down there to check on it all the time. One day there was a huge snake on it and we scared it off. We knew the nest would not survive in that location so Bobby brought the eggs home and introduced them into his pen. Bobby had a fairly large duck pen in his back yard and each duck had its own special name. Some of those eggs eventually hatched and he taught (or so we thought) them to fly. We would run back and forth in his back yard flapping our arms and they would follow us flapping their little wings. I only did this a few times but I can imagine Bobby probably did it a hundred times. Eventually as they got bigger they began to fly. There are so many stories from the neighborhood...back/front yard football games, roaming through the woods, taking the trails to bull run, competing for the higher grade in school (especially in geometry class), hanging out while we were in college in southwest Virginia. One thing was always a given....if you wanted to play outside you would surely find Bobby somewhere in the neighborhood. My condolences to Bobby's family and friends.
