Rip bird

[Always Learning]

Robert "The Bird" Pelkington, the greatest rebounder in Xavier history and one of college's all-time rebounders flew to the heavens this Sunday.
So quick on his feet, great anticipation and a deadly down court passer hitting Steve Thomas time after time with 60-70 foot passes and a real gamer.
May God greet you with open arms Bob and I know Big Jim will.
Pace Domini, RIP.

I heard of Bob Pelkington, but he was before my time.

RIP, and prayers sent.

My condolences to family and friends.
