Kelly, Heidi, Heather, family and friends,
My condolences to you all. I first met Bobby when I moved to New Orleans from Texas in1972, we became lifelong friends, and never had a spat of any kind. I admired Bobby's patience, compassion and love for kids (even when he planted kleats in an officials' rear end for cheating his team), and I will miss him. Jerry Peel, Little Rock AR.

Heidi & Heather,
I was saddened to hear of your father's death. May your faith and many wonderful memories help you find peace and comfort at this time. It made me think of my friend Joyce. Your family will be remembered in my prayers.
Love,
