Bobby Valenzuela (Bobby V). RIP

[3331 137]

From Dale Grady.

Bobby Valenzuela passed away on Sunday after

A motorcycle accident in Arizona.

To say Bobby V was larger than life is like saying the ocean is big.

Bobby was a true legend and lived a life worthy of a novel or a feature film.

Hi 3331,

I believe that he is one of only three to have jumped in every state in the US.

PS)  I met him at a Para-Pioneers get-together in Tucson about 20 yrs ago.

Jumped with Bobby on numerous occasions in El Paso and Ghoulidge.  Several times for his Gold Wings jump.  Lol.  Quite a character!

Johnston Atoll, in middle of the Pacific Ocean, is where Bobby V worked for a subcontractor in 1996.  I was there with the Base Operations Contractor as Quality Assurance Manager. I walked into the mail room and there was Bobby V waiting to get his PO Box, we recognized each other immediately.
