I am so glad that I got to see Mr. Bobis when I visited Phoenix in October. I will always remember his love of sports and how he could list every college team. My prayers are with you for your loss.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to your family. I hope you find comfort from God’s word the bible during this time of grief. For he is near to those broken at heart. Ps 34:17,18 Also, note Jesus’ words of comfort spoken to Martha, who had just lost her brother, at John 11:23-25, “Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise. Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.”

My name is Lori Perrault and Michael Bobis was my maternal grandmother Estelle Bobis Bohne’s brother. I’m sorry to learn of his passing and am sorry I never got to meet him. If any of his children or grandchildren would like to reach me – I am fairly easy to find in Alameda, CA.
My condolences to your family.
