I’m so sorry to hear about Bobby. We were in Boy Scouts together, and after his accident, I had the honor of teaching him accounting at WVNCC. He was a fighter that never gave up, even after his accident.

When I saw Bobby last he was smiling and relieved. He was going home. He had an act of presence and command that I have not seen before. It was as he was ready to move on to another universe, to start anew raising hell. And so it is. I bid you farewell my friend. Your strength, faith and courage will be with us, always. GB

I just now found out of Bobby’s passing. I’m so sorry to hear of this. I have not seen or heard of Bobby for so long. I last saw him in the during the year following his accident. I always wondered how he was and how he progressed. Always a gentleman and kind person. Loved living his life prior to the accident. I’m glad he married and had a great family. May you rest in peace Bobby and enjoy living a full life again in heaven. Cheryl Hanna Mantich Bridgeville PA
