My deepest condolences go to you Joanne and your family on the loss of Bobby. You might remember Larry Urban my husband who played softball with him for many years. He also passed away last year at the age of 73. Sincerely, Yvonne Urban

A good friend has moved on. A piece of me has moved with him. But I am okey, because I know Bobby is saving a place there for me. He will need a short stop and Bobby can count on me.
