He was born in Cleveland TN, on November 29, 1928, to Ledford (Coalman) and Delter Kirkpatrick Marr, and lived his entire life in Cleveland. Bobby was a professional truck driver and retired at age 57 after 35 years of accident free service. Since retirement, he volunteered with the Police Public Service, and traveled extensively coast to coast along with several cruises. Bobby enjoyed helping family and friends in and sharing with those in need. He often said; “the just shall live by faith”, and “we are blessed”.
