Bobby Schlegal - Orlando Florida

Post by Nick Reed »

Bobby passed away Saturday 3/9/13 at his home in Orlando, Fl. He was a member of the Florida Steel Guitar Club and was always a regular picker each month at there Jams. Bobby played a red GFI Ultra D-10 and was very devoted to trying to learn our instrument. He was a very kind person, always happy, and will be missed very much. Bobby's widow has asked our friend, the legendary Jim Price to play Bobby's guitar at the Funeral.

The jam just wasn't the same without Bobby and his huge bar and smile. :(
I will miss him because of his kindness to me, the dry humor, and his quiet manner.
RIP my friend.
