Bobby started school at Pink Hill but moved to Bells his second year when the two schools were consolidated.  He graduated from Bells High School in 1951. 

After working at the mill in Sherman for a year, he was drafted into the U.S. Army on May 5, 1953 during the Korean Conflict.  Bobby was stationed in Germany for over a year.  He returned home and continued working at the mill while attending Austin College in Sherman. 

Bobby began working with the REA (GCEC) in 1958, and began working with a line crew at Texas Power & Light Co. in 1960.  He retired from T P & L as a crew foreman in 1992, and enjoyed spending his time on the family farm where he grew up.

Bobby enjoyed the outdoors, hunting fishing, gardening and tending to his cows and driving his tractor.  Bobby was a member of the Antioch Baptist Church in the Pink Hill Community.  He loved his Lord, his family, and his friends.  He especially enjoyed his grandchildren and great granddaughter, Anna Grace.
