Bobby worked for Wayne Densch Budweiser as a truck driver for over 25 years. He was a US Army Veteran. Bobby will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Bobby loved fishing and Camping whenever he could, when we were younger he was known for building and tinkering in the shop making anything he could like bird houses, bird feeders, tables and benches big enough for 12 or more people to gather on a regular basis. He loved going to garage sales on the weekends and it was hard for him not to buy something at each one he went to. His love for his family was so important to him and he loved getting together and sitting around and having fun conversations making us laugh with all his southern slangs that we will remember forever. Bobby is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Vera Walker, of Mt.

Bobbi says
He was more than a brother in law to me he was my brother. I was 12 years old when he came into my life and I have always loved him. Although, I cried like a baby when he and Dean got married because she was like a second mother to me. Our mother worked in packing houses and she would work long hard hours so Dean was there to pick up the slack for mother. I will never forget all the Thanksgivings, Christmas, Easter’s and pool parties at Dean and Be Bob’s house. I will miss him until we are joined together forever in Heaven. Dean, Penny, Scott your in my prayers that God will give us all comfort and peace just knowing he is in Heaven with his mom, dad, brothers and sister and mama, “Deans mom”. Our mother loved Bob like her own son. She was always happy to have our family together. Bob was one of the most kind, laid back, gentle, loving man. He loved Dean, his children, and grandchildren with his whole heart. Until we meet again. ✝️✝️✝️✝️💟💟💟💟💟
