HarpO:

Bobby was a really great guy nd a Star Bouncer for many years at Metro Smart bar. he later moved over to the GingerMan.
i haerd he died [heart attack?] in the early 90's . he was one of the best, nicest people, he was like a big brother/keeper for a lot od=-f us lost punk club kids, and had a heart of gold

He did alot of good deeds quietly, you'd be surprised at what happened after hours and backstage...

he will be fondly missed-- Rock On Bobby, and thanks for lookin out for us all those years.
