So saddened by the news of Bobby's passing. I have so many fond memories of him and the old Orange church on both Border Street and the newer one. For some reason, he would always try and grab my nose. We shared many laughs together. Prayers sent out ##imported-begin##Johna Barnes Trahan##imported-end##
