Bobby Donald Bolin
Easley, SC
Bobby "B.B." Donald Bolin, 84, husband of Irene White Bolin, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Friday, June 2, 2023.
Born in the Smyrna Community of York County, a son of the late George Nelson Bolin and the late Blanche Little Bolin, Mr. Bolin was a graduate of Hickory Grove High School, retired from Sales and Marketing and was a member of Rock Springs Baptist Church.
Bobby had a successful career in Major League Baseball for thirteen years. He played for the San Francisco Giants from 1961 - 1969, the Milwaukee Brewers in 1970, and the Boston Red Sox from 1970 - 1973. He was inducted into the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame, and was one of the original inductees to the San Francisco Giants Wall of Fame.
He was a member of the Gideons, was an avid hunter and traveler, and loved to play golf. Bobby loved his family, especially his grandchildren, and great-grandkids, but his greatest love was for his Lord and doing the work of the Lord. He shared his testimony and spread the word of God at every turn throughout his life, maybe even to the animals he hunted. He will be dearly missed by all who loved and knew him.
Surviving, in addition to his wife of sixty-four years, are his daughter, Donna B. Nations (Gary) of Pickens; his son, Brett Bolin (Mindy) of Liberty; his three grandchildren, Nathan Swords (Kasey), Jacob Bolin, and Blake Bolin; and his two great-grandchildren, Scout Swords and Hudson Swords. In addition to his parents, Mr. Bolin was predeceased by two brothers, Joe Bolin and Benny Bolin; and a sister, Peggy Moore.

Bob (and family) were good friends. Good memories from when they were at FBCN. I just watched a good film on Bobby on utube. Go to utube and search Bobby Bolin pitcher. Our prayers are with the family. Stan and Susan Yates

We are so saddened by the news this evening if Bobs passing. He was such an Amazing presence in any room. He reminded of my dad, Ron hale probably because of his height and mannerisms. He was a hero to our family and he will be greatly missed ! We will be praying for all of you as you walk thru this valley together. Just know you all are deeply prayed for and loved.
