“ | Sam...so...this is weird, huh? Look, I just wanted to say that Cass told me what you're doing for Dean. And I'm not asking you to stop, but maybe going behind his back ain't the best idea. Your brother, he can be stubborn. But I think he'd understand. And I know it's the life -- doing a little bad so you can do a lot of good. But sometimes the bad's real bad and the good -- it can come at one hell of a price. I ain't there on the ground, and whatever you do I know you'll make the right choice. You're a good man, Sam Winchester -- one of the best and I'm damn proud of you, son. I was content up here. But getting the call from you, it's the happiest I've ever been in forever, no matter what it costs. So stay safe, keep fighting, and kick it in the ass. Bobby. | „ |

Summary
Robert Steven "Bobby" Singer (1950-2012) was a hunter, an old friend of John Winchester, and over time evolved into a father-figure for John's sons Sam and Dean. He was also one of the longest lasting recurring characters, appearing in every season so far.
Bobby is a hunter like the Winchesters, though he seems to stay fairly stationary. He wears a lot of flannel and is almost always seen in a trucker's hat. He runs an auto salvage yard as his day job, and is a go-to guy for supernatural research.
He seems to have amassed quite a bit of knowledge over the years (being the first to deduce on his own that Meg was in fact possessed), plus his house is full of bookcases and stacks of books about the supernatural world and the things hunters go after. He and John Winchester were old friends, though they had a falling out prior to the onset of the series. After John's death, Bobby becomes like a father to Sam and Dean.
