Our hearts go out to the Babineaux family and friends of our beloved Bobby. We mourn the loss of such a free spirit and genuine soul, and we're so saddened to of hear the news of his untimely death. What we loved the most about Bobby, was that he had a big heart, he was the 'real deal,' you either take him as he was, or the hell with ya. : ) He had an innate love and appreciation for family and elders, that was affirming. I will never forget when he made his way to SA to sing at my Dad's (Roumell Babino) homegoing service... Now Bobby is going up Younder to be w our Lord; my Dad, his Dad, Nephews, and all our Ancestors whose memories remain in our hearts. R.I.P. dear cousin❣️ Much Love from your SA Cousin, Ada and Aunt Jerry
