I just found out that Bobby died. We went dove & duck hunting every year when I lived in Nederland. When I moved away we would talk all the time, but over the last several we didn’t stay in touch. My prayers are with the family. I will miss Bobby, he could make me laugh & we did so much together… LOVE U BOBBY WILL MISS U FOR EVER!!!

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Amen. To Davie, Carolyn, Carlene, Lindsay, Lauren and the Minaldi family: I gave up Facebook for Lent; so, I didn't know about Bobby's passing, or I would have been there. Oh, how he LOVED my buttermilk pie! Betsy would get so mad at him for asking me to bake him one... I know they are all together in Heaven, and we will see them again one day. I'm so grateful for your family, and I will always consider all of you my family. Love you, Mary Lambright-Walden

I was shocked to learn of Bobby's passing!!! He was a great guy always friendly and a pleasure to be around. The NHS graduation class of 1960 has a get together at the Schooner restaurant the evening before the Bulldog Fish Fry. Bobby and a few other friends of our class have been welcome to attend. It was a joy to see his smiling face when I arrived. My condolences to David and Carolyn for the loss of another of their family. I grew up in the same neighborhood of the Minaldi's. What a great family!!! I am sorry that I didn't know in time to send flowers. My thoughts and prayer will be you David. Love you like a brother!!

Mr. Bobby is my work neighbor. He was always so kind to me. He knew how to make me laugh. I will miss hearing his music playing and I will miss his giant car. Thank you for your Service, Sir. Go Navy!

A piece of my heart is missing. Bobby was a great friend but we considered him as family. I am forever grateful for his friendship with my son Trey. He was everything to Trey. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Rest in peace my friend. Until we meet again. :heart:

So sorry to hear about Bobby's passing. We grew up together, lived across the street from each other. Visited with Bobby several times at his shoe repair shop, he loved the Lord, and like to share His word. Prayers for the family Sharon Roberts
