IN MEMORY: BOBBY HAKES
Phips called this morning to let me know Bobby passed away last night.
Bobby was a retired concession manager, who worked his way up from "candy butcher" to owning his own business.
A little known fact is that he was also a member of Bill Atterbury's "Sky Kings", Sway Pole Act.
Bobby was another of those unique personalities who made our life a "Circus", he will be missed.

What an honor it was to hear Bobby speak at the April - 2008 CFA Sarasota Convention Celebrity Luncheon..Bobby will be missed and our hearts and prays go out to Phips...
Bobby was a kind businessman. I purchased a couple of his videos, and obviously this is a great loss to the circus community. My sympathies to his friends and family.

Through you, Bill, lots of love to Phips from the British circus community.
John.
