Whether it be a screw, a fastener, a lightbulb, or a "J" bend, Bobbie had it all. And if he didn't have it, plain and simple they just didn't make 'em anymore. At that point it was, "I haven't seen one of those in YEARS!"
I hope the rollercoasters, and the mobile home(boy wasn't that the biggest RV you ever did see?) and the sunny retirement were enough after all those years on Granville. I know that there is a smile on his face as the Pearly Gates open and there is Castle waiving him in.
Thanks, Bobby - I hope you had a good run of it. Uncle Jack O'Callaghan and Kathy Osterman now have one of their 'ol buddies to talk politics with. I'm sure I won't be the only one that misses that booming deep voice of yours. Put in a good word for me up there, Bob.
