Bobby started working at Caterpillar at 18 years old and retired with over 30 years of service. Bobby had many jobs in life, such as farming, delivering papers, and remodeling. Bobby and Mary were married for 62 years. They enjoyed the warm winters in Texas, for 17 years. The two of them enjoyed going to Bluegrass Festivals with their friends. Bobby and Mary also enjoyed spending the weekends camping at Radnor Rod and Gun Club.
His great-grandchildren were the light of his life. Bobby built princess houses and gave lots of golf cart rides.
In his later years, he moved to Courtyard Estates in Farmington. We would like to thank everyone who worked there for the love and kindness they showed Bobby.
