He was a mechanic for many years and worked for several different shops in town.

She lived in Hong Kong during her husband’s service in the U.S. Navy. She returned to the states and lived in Mountain Ranch, California for many years.

Bobby and Kitty both enjoyed bowling and in fact, that is how they met. They were also members of the Hi Plains Gem and Mineral Society and enjoyed collecting. They married on March 16, 1996 and celebrated 25 years of marriage. Anyone who knew Bobby and Kitty know their passion was to serve others and to show God’s love and compassion through service. They were proud members of Harvest Christian Fellowship and served the church in many capacities but their favorite was to serve in Kid City.
