After graduating from Parsons High School, Bob started working in 1953, starting on local farms in Eglon, the nearby stockyard, the Exxon station in Parsons, raising turkeys for the Sterling Corporation, then the Sterling Facet Company, a carpenter in NC, then worked at the shoe plant in Parsons, and went on working at Blackwater State Park, then finished his career at Kidwell’s Auto Parts in Thomas.
He attended the Good Tidings Assembly of God Church on Location Road and was Baptized in the Cheat River.
