“He was an original 1967 member of the St. Louis Blues, but also an original in every sense of the word. Bobby’s influence at all levels of the Blues organization was profound and everlasting, and his loss to our city will be deep,” the team said in a statement.

All Three Brothers Barclay, Billy and Bobby are gone now. Quite an era in St. Louis Hockey.
