Bobby was born and raised in South Philly, but loved
Ocean City NJ and practically lived there. He loved fishing and every
year he served the MS-150 "City to Shore" bike ride -- more than 30
year veteran. Bobby's South Philly voice will be missed as the net
control.
Personally I only play a small part in the MS-150,
but this past year there were well over 100 ham operators all playing
that "one small part". (many hands make work light) Last year we lost
the the Berstein's, both Frank (K3FSB) and Denise (KB3ANO) -- they
served on the staff cars. Then late 2020 we lost Kathy Stafford (AB2LF)
-- she served in OC and was originally the contact person for
ham radio sign-ups.
Please consider joining the group of ham operators
who do volunteer work for the Philadelphia MS Society every year in
September (2022 dates are the 24th and 25th). The Cherry
Hill "North End" or the start / finish (near Patco Woodcrest station)
jobs include antenna setup, APRS install, staff car driver or passenger
(ham comm), and of course the SAG drivers. They consist of multiple sets
of two vans that follow each other in tandem -- one for passengers and
one for the bikes. Contact person is Joe DiBartolo (KC2SFB) -- email is

Yes... Like most people from South Philly, Bobby was quite a character. I last saw him at the November or was it December ?? Phil-Mont meeting here at Giant in W.G. Only a bit older than me.. too young to die.
