As I was doing some research on my next piece, I saw that my friend Bobby Rivers TV has transitioned from this life We met online after I co-hosted on TCM. Bobby became more than a friend, but someone whose opinion I greatly valued and admired. He always had a kind word and fabulous advice. He knew what he meant to me and I will miss him dearly while sending much love to his family whose presence has been an insurmountable loss.
