Bobby was my first cousin. Our families were very close, spending many holidays together and sharing many meals.
My fondest memories of Bobby are the days when we were children. He and his sister Jenny stayed at our house during the day while their mother worked in the summers. We played in the yard all day, walked down to the store for ice cream, and sat in the porch swing and sang songs that were popular then. One of Bobby’s favorites was “The Purple People Eater.”
I will always remember the weeks at the beach that our families spent each summer for a number of years. I always envied Bobby that he could tan so well and not burn! We enjoyed playing miniature golf; Bobby was really good at that. He loved going deep sea fishing with his dad. And he was always ready to eat a good seafood dinner.
I love you, Bobby; you were a fun cousin! I will miss you so much.
