Uncle Bobby,
You are never forgotten. We think about you so often and enjoy all the memories we had as a family. I miss your antics as an uncle. One thing for sure, I made sure to be an uncle to nephews and nieces as you were to us. I wanted them to know how a “cool” uncle can be. Thank you for those memories. And thank you for handcuffing me so often…it kept me out of trouble! Your case caused me to become a forensic scientist. One day Justice will be served on your behalf. Whether on this earth or after, God will bring Justice for you. We love you and miss you.

Derek Yesucevitz
Nephew
