I am greatly saddened by the passing of my friend, Bobby Flores. My condolences to his family. Our families have been very close since we were little kids. I remember birthday parties, bbq’s, his sense of humor and his blinding white teeth. Bobby always helped others and Was respectful of others. He was my friend, my protector and treated me like his kid sister even though we were the same age.
To Bobby’s family: Your dad, grandpa, son, brother, uncle and/cousin was one of a kind who will be remembered by many others.
My love to Georgina.
