Bobby attended Washington Elementary School and Atlantic Junior High. After a family car accident in the winter of 1975, Bobby was injured and remained in a coma for 2 1/2 years. His father also lost his life as a result of the accident.
For those that attended school with Bobby in the early years, you will remember he was very much a part of our class.

I think this was the first experience I had of someone my age passing. I can still remember his smile, was like a ray of sunshine - out to take on the world.

Thank you for remembering Bobby. He lived on the street behind us. I remember playing and hanging out at his house.

Oh, Bobby! With our last names, we were forever seated next to each other in classes and he was my comic relief whether it was funny comments or spit balls being shot. We were mad if we weren't on the same teams at recess in elementary.
I think about Bobby often as he was a very special friend and his mom remains my link to him. Can't wait to see his picture uploaded.

Bobby was my friend with family, as well as him and I. Our families were all very close especially around the holidays. When He was in a coma,,,,,,,,,,,,, I visited him faithfully in the Atlantic nursing home, as well as the Atlantic hospital. I told him who was winning the basketball games, etcc. I felt he knew I was present. When he passed............oh my. What a hurt that was.
This brings up memories, as his mother , Marge , and brother Kirby, were just at my folks' house over Christmas. We actually were reminancing about the accident.
So many memories of Bobby, Jeff Martin, and me back in the day. :(
Always, Michelle Howard
