I am very sorry to hear of Bobby’s passing. Bobby and I were close friends when we both lived on Wendell Place and attended Acushnet Ave School together. We spent many hours growing up and playing at Emerson Wright playground. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family. Peter Siciliano
