Robert Furr Obituary
Robert Lee Furr, 91, of Concord, passed away Thursday, August 3, 2023 at his home, surrounded by his loving family.
Robert was born December 1, 1931 in Stanly County, North Carolina, to the late Charlie L. Furr and the late Julia Furr.
He was also preceded in death by his loving wife, Ruby Smith Furr, of over 65 years, sisters Pauline Almond and Elma Eudy, and brother David Furr.
