I met Bob my last season at LCC ('79). It was obvious shortly after that what a genuine guy he was, the kind who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed one. For all those who miss him most, may you know God's matchless grace and mercy, both now, and always......... Matthew 11:28 - 30.

Bobby and I played Pony League together. He was our catcher. A rather tall catcher I might add. He was always a very happy and encouraging fellow. We were friends. He used to mention in the dugout from time to time to his Dad how Willie Mays hit his 500 home run off of him and want Din to tell us the story. We would all laugh. Bobby cosId throw most runners out at second so not many people stole on him accept when Ron pitched. That was a disaster. Any way I only saw Bobby for two years of...

Coach Nottebart was my history teacher in 1985 and 1986. I was in his class when the Challenger Shuttle went down. We were taking a test. I remember how he pivoted from the test to use the moment as a teaching experience. He was a great teacher.
He was also quite humorous. I enjoyed his view on life and his passion for baseball. I've told Coach Nottebart stories for years. May you Rest In Peace sir. Know you had an impact on lives.

I played Baseball at LCC with Bob. He was actually my catcher. He was one of the best catchers I ever had. There are so many memories of how he helped me achieve the goals we had set I can't begin to list them. Bob was a go-getter in every sense of the word. To his family I wish all the best to and God be with all of you !

Robert Edward Nottebart passed away on Tuesday morning, October 16, 2018 surrounded by his loving family at his home in Boling, Texas. He was 60 years old. ‘Bob’ was born in Wichita, Kansas to Donald E. Nottebart and Joanne L. Nottebart on June 13, 1958.
Growing up with family primarily in the Southwest Houston area, Bob graduated from Westbury High School in 1976 where he played both basketball and baseball. His love and talent for baseball led him to Lubbock Christian College where he played and where he eventually became the graduate assistant within the LCC baseball program.
He ultimately completed a master’s degree in history at the University of Houston, a subject with which he demonstrated a life-long affection, and began a distinguished teaching/coaching career at Strake Jesuit High School, and subsequently moving on to the head baseball coaching position at Wharton County Jr. College, where he also taught history for several years.
In recent years Bob enjoyed summering in New England with his wife Peggy, where he pursued hiking with his dogs in the White Mountains near his second home in Ossippee, New Hampshire.
Bob is preceded in death by his father, Donald Nottebart. He is survived by his mother Joanne Nottebard, his wife Peggy Fitt, his daughter Daniell Davis (husband Bryan), his sons Wesley Nottebart (wife Ashton), and Samuel Nottebart (wife Sharzad), as well as former spouse and mother of his children, Beth Harmon Holmgren. He leaves six grandchildren- Charles, Kaily, Greyson, Brynn, Beckett and Camden as well as loving family members and friends.
It is the family’s preference that all loving donations can be made to River Pointe Church in Richmond, Texas.
A service and celebration of Bob’s life will be held on Saturday October 27, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. at River Pointe Church in Richmond, Texas.
