According to his granddaughter, Bobby, the yogurt-loving grandparent, inadvertently consumed half a tub of mint green paint, mistaking it for his favorite snack – yogurt. He passed away peacefully in his sleep earlier this year at the age of 92.
On Thursday, November 2, Alex shared the sad news: “Today would’ve been Bobby’s 92nd birthday. For those who don’t know, he passed away peacefully in his sleep this June,” she wrote on Instagram.
"And though he’s missed tremendously, he really did live a long, happy, healthy & fulfilling life as a doctor, musician, father, and grandfather. He loved nothing more than to make people laugh, so having the internet as his audience truly meant the world to him. Huge thanks to everyone who’s supported Bobby Boy over the years — I’m confident you guys will keep his legend alive."
