Robert was an outstanding basketball player and cherished the memories of 
his years played at Ogden High School. Until recently, he could recall the 
statistics of many of his games. He went on to play at ULM after high 
school, but committed to service and joined the Army. He enjoyed coaching 
his daughters, and when his grandchildren started playing sports, he rarely 
missed a game.

He was an avid hunter and fisherman and thoroughly enjoyed many times at Big 
Willow Hunting Club of which he was president for many years.

He was also an active member of First Baptist Church of Winnsboro where he 
served as a deacon. He also served the community as an active Gideon. He was 
a retired self-employed petroleum Land Man.

"Daddy Bob" as he was known to many, understood the value of family and his 
greatest joys and legacies are those of memories with them. He was a loving 
husband, father, grandfather, brother, great grandfather, and uncle.

He understood and exemplified a simple life of hard work, service to others, 
respect for his county and the value of relationships with those he loved. 
Although a quiet gentleman, he truly enjoyed fellowship with friends and 
family and used sports and hunting as a means to teach many life lessons to 
his daughters and grandchildren, along with their friends.

Serving as pallbearers will be: Will Hunter, Matt Hunter, Brett Walley, Adam 
Walley, John Taylor, Josh McKenzie, Blake McManus and Jurgen Fain.
