Bob Thaggard

Rest in peace, Bobby T...
Give Lucy and Ethel big hugs for me!
Hook `em, Horns!

I got to know Bob when we were both studying at SMU getting Masters of Liberal studies. We shared several writing classes as disciples of Gary Swaim and did a romp with Gary also for our SMU Study Abroad in England and France summer of 2013. He and I collabed while we were doing our writing assignments on that trip over pints at several of the pubs. He sent me a copy of his novel, The Thinker, as he wanted my critique. I enjoyed doing that for him. I will miss him and seeing his travels that he was so generous in sharing.

Bob was a true Renaissance man. His interests & accomplishments were myriad.
Bob swam competively with Longhorn Masters & WAWA in Austin for many years. He was much loved by his teammates & coaches. The friendships made thru swimming lasted a lifetime.
Bob had an irreverent & irrepressible sense of humor not to be soon replaced or forgotten.
He was a loyal & dear friend.
Vaya con Dios, Bobby T.
You are loved.
