My dear friend and musical partner Bobby Jiles, Sr lost his 39 year old son on October 4, 2011 - a tragic auto accident on the Hoan Bridge in Milwaukee. It was a shock to those who knew Bobby Jr, as well as to those who did not. So many of you have expressed your concerns for the family, and Bobby and Dorothy are so grateful for your thoughts and prayers. Please add your personal message below. Your messages will serve as a comfort to the family when they are able to take the time to read them in the coming months.
