A resident of New Lexington, Ohio, Bobby lived at Mount Aloysius, where he played basketball and participated in the Special Olympics at Ohio State.

Bobby worked for many years in the New Lexington community, including bagging groceries at Kroger and various jobs at PerCo.  Always smiling, he had a love of spaghetti, peanut butter cups, dancing and knitting.  He used to watch all the football games and carry a legal pad to record the scores.  He’d say the Miami Dolphins won, even when they lost.

In addition to his parents, preceded in death by Marjorie Saffell – “Mom,” his caregiver at Mt. Aloysius for many years.
