When we met Bobby at my daughter Cyndi and Jeremy's wedding we were immediately impressed with how warm, friendly and down to earth he was. We see those same attributes in every one of his children. We know he'll be missed dearly by all who knew him. O##imported-begin##Ed & Barb O'Connor##imported-end##

Who didn't like Bobby Ham? I can't claim a close friendship... but, i did think of him as a friend. We shared many conversations and laughs through the years at Stark High.
