Wash your hands, wipe your feet and no spitting.
Music was Bobby's passion. He was a singer songwriter, and musician for over thirty years.
He traveled all over Texas and California sharing, inspiring and being inspired by old and new friends.
In 1998 Bobby opened "The Guitar Studio" in Bryan, Texas. A true Ag, Bobby taught many aspiring students who would later try their hand as professional musicians. No matter what level of ability, he was always there helping and offering his support to his students. Everyone was welcomed at "The Shop", he never met a musician who did not become a friend. Folks all over the Brazos Valley knew his warm soul. He will be missed.
Bobby is survived by his wife Gloria, daughter Jessica, son Cortney (Mary), his grandsons the "three bears", and younger brother James (Michelle) Shilling.
He is preceded in death by his father and mother, Harold and Wilma Shilling, and youngest brother Michael.
