Bob attended Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas and lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Tempte, Arizona, Dalhart, Texas, and returned to Amarillo, where he has lived since the mid-1980s. Bob worked in agriculture and automotive sales throughout his professional career. His favorite hobby was customizing and rebuilding cars. His 1967 Chevelle was his pride and joy! It was pristine by anyone’s standards. Besides being passionate about his cars, he spent most of his time in his shop drinking coffee in his pj’s and keeping the television on Fox News. He spent a good amount of spare time farming throughout his life. His kindness, generosity, and love for his family will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.
