I want to pay my respects. I didn't know Bobby very long I met him about a year ago.Even though we didn't know each other for that long I could sense that Bobby was a good person.That he would help out another person and would give them the shirt off of his back. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and child. R.I.P. Bobby-SlickRick

I'm so so sorry and I know your pain. My son Luke was Bobby's friend and Luke passed from this same addiction last July. Luke was also waked at Biggins. I don't know if I can or want to go to Bobby's wake. This is just so sad. After things settle down please reach out to me if you want to talk or learn what I do to keep going. Again, my condolences. I remember your son from when he was younger. Robin Leonard 617-653-0980
