This is to Bobby’s daughters or sons. I’m sorry for your loss. I didn’t know your father well. I was his brother Johnny’s girlfriend for a time. I see Johnny has passed. Does he have any living children? We were all so young. Last I saw him, was at the YPO clinic in Uptown Chicago. He was with his new girlfriend, Linda. Did he marry her? I’m just curious as to how his life turned out.
