He was preceded in death by his parents Walter Clifford and Charity Lou Cook Wallace. Two brothers Walter N and Donald C Wallace and one sister Sarah Lou Smith.

After working most his life at S&S Screw Machine he retired after 46 years. Bobby's life included many fishing trips with his wife. One of his most proud moments is when his granddaughter Rebecca (Punkers) was born. Only second to his great grandson's births.

There were many trips to Dairy Queen and Christmas shopping trips with his Punkers and his sweet boys. The gifts that were produced were so unique!

Once the boys had gotten old enough, they were proudly proclaimed his boat captains over his fishing boat. Bobby loved spending time once a year with his Jamestown family at the reunions and attended them faithfully. He loved to cook the food on the grill and catching up with what was going on with the family.

His daughters will always remember his kindness and incredible generosity to others and will never forget how wonderful a daddy he was. Bobby spent the last 56 years with his wife Brenda. They had joy and ups and downs, but they were happy and had a great life together.

In all in all no words could ever express how much he loved and how much he was loved.

Bobby's wishes for cremation are being honored and a private family service will be held at a later date.
