Bobby was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Bonnie Frazier. Memorials are suggested to Children’s Home of Lubbock or your favorite charity.          Bobby and Melba enjoyed countless summers in Silverton Colorado and later in Eagle Nest New Mexico in their RV with their family and friends. One of Bobby’s favorite activities in Silverton was catching trout at Molas Lake. He loved to share his passion for the mountains and nature with his kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. He also enjoyed meeting new people in the places they camped and many of those people became lifelong friends. Bobby enjoyed riding his motorcycle or 4-wheeling on the mountain trails. Bobby and Melba were founding members of the South Plains 4 Wheel Drive Club and the Roaring Springs Ranch Club. Bobby was an avid hunter although later in life he enjoyed just sitting in the blind and watching and photographing nature. For a time, they owned a cabin at Possum Kingdom Lake where Bobby would catch boat loads of white bass and revel in teaching his kids and grandkids how to do the same. One of Bobby’s favorite activities was catching you off guard and giving you a good goosing making you almost jump out of your skin and then having a good chuckle. We’ll miss him like crazy. See you later, Pop!
