Robert WATERS Obituary

WATERS, Robert "Bob" Robert "Bob" Willis Waters July 2, 1939 - June 4, 2015 Bob (75), of Atlanta, GA, was the son of the late Robert "Buddy" Willis Waters and Frances Durrence Waters. He graduated from Ludowici High School and Valdosta State College. After two years in the navy, he lived in Savannah, Athens, St. Simons Island, and Atlanta. Most of his working years were spent with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia. Bob's big smile, warm heart, sense of humor, and deep faith will be deeply missed. He was preceded in death by his parents, his stepfathers Talmadge Hughes, Sr. and Joseph Marcus Smith, his son Robert "Rob" Willis Waters III, and his sister Miranda Waters Connor. He is survived by his daughters Jennifer (Stephen) Lange of Savannah, Georgia and Miranda (Andy) Byers of Durham, England; nine grandchildren; the mother of his children, Linda Hickman Waters; and several cousins, nieces, and nephews. A celebration of Bob's life will be held on Saturday, June 13, at First Baptist Church Decatur, GA, with viewing at 10:30, service at 11:00, and a luncheon for everyone afterward. His burial and graveside service will take place at 11:00 on Monday, June 15, at Oglethorpe Memorial Gardens on St. Simons Island, GA, followed by a luncheon for everyone. In lieu of flowers, Bob requested donations to First Baptist Church Decatur, GA or CaringBridge website.

I remember Robert very well when he was a high school student at Ludowici High. We rode the same schoolbus and I sat on the seat with him many times even though I was only in the first grade! He was so kind to me always and I recall him working in the candy stand. I have often wondered where he went in life and knew that whatever he did he would succeed in it greatly. My sympathies go to the entire family. I also remember his sister Miranda and what a beautiful and sweet person she was!

Sympathy and prayers to Jennifer and Miranda. Bob loved you both more than anything or anybody in this world. My thoughts and prayers to your families at this time.

I had the pleasure of working with Bob at Blue Cross during the 70's. We held similar positions, and became great friends. I fondly remember our work and pleasure times together, and regret that we did not keep in touch when we went our different ways. The memories of him, all good, will be with me forever, and since we share the same faith, I will see him again. My sympathy to the family.
Sincerely, Maurice Jones, Savannah GA
