As the immediate family grieves and mourns, we understand the desire of friends and family to come together and mourn Bobby's passing, however, due to the current pandemic and social restrictions, we feel that for the benefit of public health and safety, memorial services should be held at a later date to be announced. We have already lost Bobby. We do not wish to lose anyone else. Be safe and take care of each other.
