Bob and I partnered to play golf. Playing with Bob was fantastic. We hardly ever won, but never have I played with better partner. Talking trash to others and then losing was how we rolled! The fun times continued throughout the years.
Bob and I liked the same sports and the same teams, Phillies, Flyers, Eagles, Penn State … it was yet another thing we used to talk about.
Bob earned the name Birdie Bobbie when we were out playing and the other players that day were an older asian couple. Bob was “on” that day and calmly sank a 10 foot birdie. The Asian couple immediately starting calling him “Birdie Bobby”. It stuck and we laughed about it just a month or so ago.
- [ ] Bob will be missed and his good memories will be shared for years to come. Miss you Bob. Donna please find the strength to endure.
