I have a several text files that looks like this:

File1-

Bob 123 Main St.
Bob 123 Main St.
Bob 123 Main St.
Bob 123 Main St.
Jane 321 Main St.
Henry 456 Main st.
Dave 654 Center st.
...
Joe 9929 end st.


File2-

Bob 123 Main St.
Bob 123 Main St.
Bob 123 Main St.
Bob 123 Main St.
Dolly 785 Circle St.
Chris 438 Park St.
...
Ian 888 en St.

Etc.

I want to delete the "Bob" address from all the files, but leave all the 
rest of the addresses alone. I'm sure  sed or awk both could do this, 
but I can't figure out how.

Any help?
