THE WALL OF FACES

Bobby sat next to me in both English and history in our senior year. He was just the nicest guy. He was funny and would make up jokes or comments in class and say them so softly only those around him could hear. That’d leave us trying not to burst out laughing, as he kept a straight face. He had an early acceptance at Newark College of Engineering but said he wanted to do his part in Viet Nam first. Although his earthly days were short, he has left all who knew him a warm feeling in their hearts. He loved life and we loved him.
We are better for knowing him. God bless you Bobby, you will not be forgotten.

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace PFC. Andreasen, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances posted by your friends are especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will never truly die.

Thank you, George! I have been haunted by the details of Bobby's demise for all these years. Glad to hear this news in my Golden Years (or, some say "rust" - 69 yrs old). While I didn't go to Nam I did USAR as a Radio Operator for 6 yrs. My thanks for your intimate news and for being there. God bless.
