There will be a memorial service for Bobby “Vegas” Stringfield this coming Sunday, December 3 at 2:30 P.M. at the The Well, at 1401 6th Avenue in Beaver Falls. Bobby passed away earlier this month on November 7. Bobby was a fixture in the Beaver Falls community and worshiped at the Soma Gathering, which holds weekly services at The Well. Bobby and his older siblings were originally from Aliquippa and were very talented musicians and engaging performers. In addition to entertaining in the parks and streets of Beaver Falls, in recent days, Bobby would lend his talents to the weekly services at The Soma Gathering by playing the Harmonica, guitar and sing along with the church praise band and worship leaders. Prior to moving to Beaver Falls about ten years ago he was a common sight toting his guitar around strapped to his shoulders in Rochester. He had become a very popular member of the local community. Again, Stringfield’s memorial service will be held this Sunday at 2:30 at The Well in Beaver Falls.
