Bob Manley Obituary
He is survived by his wife, Marcia; sister and brother-in-law, Sharon and Roger Barlow of Joplin, MO; and great nephews, Sage and River Clunn.
Bob was active member of the Masonic Lodge in Strafford, MO. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and had a great appreciation for nature. He always said that is where he felt most at peace.
Through hard work and spiritual guidance, Bob maintained 37 years of sobriety through AA. On that journey he was able to help many and developed lifelong friendships along the way.
Arrangements for a memorial service will be made at a later date.
