I knew Bobby Roberts from Adams High
School and he was the singer for my band, the “Traces of Time”. Bobby’s unique soulful voice was appreciated by so many people. He was truly gifted, funny, unpredictable and a true free spirit. I will miss him and condolances to his family and friends. I can still hear his voice and feel his music.
