    May this great man rest in the peace of Jesus Christ. I worked with Bobby as we called him back then in the summer of 74 at the Island Coke plant. I was a summer college employee. We talked Pirate baseball during breaks and lunch. I have never forgotten him and will pray for him and his family. John Franckhauser
