Bobby attended Bethune Elementary School and Collins High School, later he completed his General Education Diploma and then furthered his education at Lincoln Technical Institute.

Bobby relocated from Chicago, IL to Sedalia, Mo where he then met and married Jennifer (Harvey) Hunter. Bobby and Jennifer were married on October 17, 2005 in an intimate environment amongst their family and friends and remained married until his transition.

Bobby was an entrepreneur (a natural born hustler) and a friend to many in the community. Those that knew him called him “Rizzo”, His jokes and giving spirit always brought joy to those around him. He was always known to crack jokes and keep others laughing.  While some might find swap meets and auctions simply a hobby, it explained part of his character being able to see the value in not only a bargain, but the used and thrown out.

He enjoyed movies and always compared himself to Don Corleon (The Godfather) he introduced his children to great comedy and music. He enjoyed singing, poetry, and even wrote some of his own selections. He will be remembered for his swift thinking and his bold and unfiltered attitude.
