Bobby was my teammate on the Crest High School basketball team in the 1960's, and he was related to lots of my old high school buddies like Don Greene and Tommy Greene. He was a good natured fellow with loads of athletic talent. I am sure he was a good family man in all the ways possible. RIP, Bobby.
