Bobby grew up in Miami Beach, Florida and spent much of his life playing and teaching tennis. He was an excellent player and was well known throughout Montgomery County by the hundreds (if not thousands) of students that he taught his beloved sport to. He not only elevated their games, but did so with charisma and what he was best known for; his sense of humor. The courts were filled with as much laughter as they were with the instruction.

Bobby enjoyed watching tennis and other competitive sports, lifting weights, listening to and singing country music. He enjoyed spending time with his family, His sense of humor lit up any gathering.
