    My condolences to Mary and entire family. Blue was a heck of a guy and it saddens me to see his passing. He used to visit us when we shot pool for the Bungalow. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

    God Bless his entire family.

    To the Peters family…

    So very sorry to hear of Bobbie’s passing. It has been nearly 40 years since I have seen him, but we grew up together in Munising and have many memories of him sitting on my back porch reading the latest comic books I had. My mother, his Aunt Rose Miron (sister to Marie) and my sisters Carol and Connie also send their condolences to Bobbie’s wife, children, grandchildren, brothers and sister. He will never be forgotten as long as there are those here on earth that remember him in our memories.

    God Bless.
