Bobby's Story
HELLO EVERYONE! I AM BOBBY'S YOUNGER SISTER, CAROL, AND ALSO WENT TO DOUGLAS HIGH IN 71 AND 72. I JUST WANTED TO RE-OPEN BOBBY'S YEARBOOK SINCE THERE WERE FRIENDS CONTACTING HIM. I AM SAD TO INFORM ALL HIS FRIENDS FROM DOUGLAS HIGH, THAT BOBBY CAME DOWN WITH LEUKEMIA 2007 AND PASSED AWAY ON SEPT 17, 2010. HE LOVED KAYAKING, FISHING, MAKING THINGS, PLAYING WITH THE HORSES. HE WAS STILL A VERY SWEET AND LOVING PERSON DURING THOSE HORRIBLE DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS WITH THE DREADFUL DISEASE LEUKEMIA. HE HAD MANY GOOD MONTHS, BUT IN 2010, HE TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORSE, WENT INTO A COMA AND PASSED AWAY. HE HAD THE BEST DOCTORS AND AS YOU ALL KNOW, BOBBY WAS SUCH A WITTY AND FUNNY GUY. THROUGH ALL THE PAIN, HE...Expand for more
KEPT A GOOD OUTLOOK, REMAINED MAKING US LAUGH AND THE NURSES AND DOCTORS LAUGH. BOBBY HAD MANY FRIENDS AT DOUGLAS, AND I DECIDED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT WAS WRITING HIM, THAT HE WAS CALLED TO BE WITH GOD IN HEAVEN SEPT. 17, 2010. HE LOVED THE RIVER SO MUCH, HE WANTED HIS ASHES TO BE TOSSED INTO HIS FAVORITE PLACE. THE YELLOW BUTTERFLY IS A SYMBOL OF BOBBY, BECAUSE WHEN HE WENT INTO REMISSION THE FIRST AND LAST TIME, WHEN HE OPENED HIS EYES, HE NOTICED A YELLOW BUTTERFLY. SO EVERY TIME WE SEE ONE, WE SAY "LOOK THERE'S BOBBY" OR "WE LOVE YOU BOBBY AND MISS YOU" PLEASE REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES YOU SPENT WITH BOBBY. I WILL BE CHECKING ON HERE OFTEN, SO FEEL FREE TO WRITE MEMORIES, ASK QUESTIONS, ETC.
