Bob started his work career at age ten setting bowling pins, and by the age of sixteen, he was buying and selling cattle. His adventurous spirit began to emerge as he rodeoed and learned to break horses, which would be a job he would have in the future on different ranches.

At age eighteen, after graduating with three of his siblings from the Early High School Class of 1948, he moved to San Angelo and started his career with Lone Star Gas Company, which would span more than thirty-eight years.

His love of hunting took feet in his founding of the San Angelo Clay Bird Association.

Bob’s diligence resulted in him being named Outstanding Promotional Representative for Lone Star Gas in 1974 and San Angelo Chamber of Commerce Ambassador of the year 1981-84.

Donations in Bob's memory may be made to Meals For The Elderly or a charity of your choice.
