    Just reminiscing about Bobby more than 10 years after his passing. He was the nicest guy, always upbeat and happy. I remember him as a good roofer, a Walmart guy, and he liked to cruise the local parks. He could make most people smile just being his good-natured self. I miss seeing him, and I miss being with him, ever so how. God bless you Bobby Allen. I never will forget you as a very special friend—Love always and forever.
