Bob was born to James and Myrtle Hambright on September 13, 1930, in Norton, Texas where he grew up farming. Upon graduating from Norton High School, Bob entered the Navy where he was commissioned as a steam boiler technician responsible for the inspection, maintenance and repair of the Navy ship’s steam-propulsion system. After proudly serving his country, Bob returned to his home in Norton, Texas where he resumed farming and cattle ranching. Shortly thereafter, Bob accepted a position as a Texas Control Inspector with Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance Company where he was employed for 23 years. Upon his retirement from Hartford, Bob commenced a long and established career in the construction business wherein he subsequently built homes and apartment complexes in San Angelo and throughout the state of Texas and Arkansas. Bob later expanded his construction company to include plastering and roofing contracting. Bob and Dorothy were active members of San Angelo First United Methodist Church. 

Bob was the youngest of two brothers, and was always blessed with a strong work ethic which carried him throughout his life. Bob had a tremendous sense of humor and loved being around family and friends. Bob had many interest which included fishing, golf, watching football, dancing, telling jokes and taking many trips to Las Vegas and Laughlin, Nevada. Bob was also known for making wonderful peanut brittle which he loved sharing with family and friends.  

The family would like to thank all of the personal caregivers, the staff of Hospice of San Angelo and the Veterans Administration who cared for Bob during his illness.
