Bobby Driskell Obituary

Surrounded by his much-loved children, Bobby Eugene Driskell peacefully slipped away from this life early the morning of 7 July, 2023. Born to Pauline (Morris) and Eugene (Gene) D. Driskell November 2, 1936, Bobby was a lifelong resident of Albany, Georgia. He was predeceased by Libby, his beloved wife of 54 years.

A graduate of Albany High School, Bobby went on to earn a degree in Finance from the University of Georgia before returning to Albany to work with his father at Gene Driskell Machine Works. Bobby's greatest passions were Libby, his children Maudelle Marie, Dawn Tracy (Hart), and Eugene (Gene) Temple and his granddaughter, Autumn Elise, followed by his lifelong dedication to his work.

Bobby was a true one-of-a-kind. Always ready with a joke or a witticism, he was a warrior to the end, never retiring, passionate about his work and life. He loved his little Jack Russell dogs, huge fires in the winter, grilling, spending time with his family on Lake Eufaula and flying his Sundowner.

Bobby learned the importance of hard work at an early age and was a force to be reckoned with. He was always there for Libby and for his children. He taught all who knew him the importance of family and hard work. He will be sorely missed by many.

In accordance with his wishes, there will be no Memorial Service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Terrell County Humane Society or to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital Hospice.

Deepest heartfelt condolences to our Driskell family. We are so saddened to hear of Bobby´s passing and wish we could have spent more time with him and Libby.

Mom has such fond memories of spending much of her childhood at Aunt Pauline and Uncle Gene´s, tagging along behind Bobby, listening to his prized record collection, and hearing him call out to his little cousin, "Come dance with me, Stackrat!"

We wish you all abundant peace, comfort, and joy in knowing that not only was Bobby´s a life well-lived, but all who knew him were better for it.

With much love,
Erika Hall and Carolyn Stone Hall Bailey (daughter of Mabel Bryan, granddaughter of Ruby Driskell Bryan)

I knew Bobby through business dealings with the Cream Cone Company. Always with a humorous quip and always with a keen sense of business at hand. He was always supportive and efficient when business was at hand,

yet always warm and witty afterwards. Rest in peace dear Bobby and I sure hope the Good Lord enjoys a quick wit and a sharp tongue. Prayers for his children and grandchild as we all will miss him terribly. Tom (Sarge) Burrell.
