One of my first memories of Bobby is when I was a little boy living with my Grandmother Strouse on the Farm next to where Bobby lived with his parents....I remember when he went into the Army and WW2...think that was 1943....I also remember on Saturday evenings the Scott Theatre use to show newsreels showing some of the local G.I.'s who were overseas.....I remember seeing Bobby, my Uncle Alvin & Arthur Strouse quite regularly when they were in Europe....Bobby has always been my Hero, a fine man......RIP Uncle Bobby........Love.......Bill and Susan Strouse........
