I cared for Bobby for numerous years while working at Preferred Group home, until I moved on to another job. Bobby I’m told ask about me on several occasions. I started calling him and stayed in touch on a regular basis. Bobby couldn’t ever get my name right, so, I just let him call me Michelle…He was a joy to be around. I will always remember him for his laughter and gentle spirit. Bobby will be missed. R.I.P.
I was always amazed after my talks with Bobby. His listening and memory were keenly sharpe. He always knew the Royals or Chiefs score and who made the play of the game. His recollection of country music artists and their hits introduced me to country stars I had never heard of. And man he could attack a plate of food like no other. I will forever recall that laugh and his inquisitive nature. On to greener pastures Bobby. Love always ??
I was blessed to have the pleasure of caring for Bobby for over a year. It was a true blessing to have known him. He called me his best friend and told me he loved me everyday. Your hugs, jokes, laughter, and contagious smile will be forever missed. REST IN PEACE, MY POPPY???
