Bobby was born to Milton and Anne Weinstock in Philadelphia May 5, 1954. He studied psychology as an undergraduate at Clark University and as a graduate student at Emory University. During his 68 years he maintained close relationships with people he knew from childhood, college and graduate school. He moved to Portland in 1980 and spent the next four decades in social services creating programs to help homeless and vulnerable adults. Bobby became one of Portland's most compassionate and effective housing advocates. He believed: "The health of our city is tied to our willingness to invest in the creation of an abundant and affordable supply of housing for all of our citizens." He had a strong and abiding commitment to social justice and created a team that has helped thousands of individuals find their permanent homes.
