On March 27,1958, the late Frank and Lula Vinson were blessed with the gift of a son, Bobby. He was educated in the Obion County Schools System at Woodland Mills TN and South Fulton TN. His love of ’all things cowboy’ was put to good use at Pinoak Farms with employer Bob Hunt, with whom he worked until retirement, where he also honed his skills in farming. Previous employers were Tyson, CBK and Martin Box Factory.
As a faithful member of Greater Victory Freewill Baptist Church, Bobby attended worship under the Pastoral leadership of Bishop Richard Davis, Sr.
He had a kind and easy-going personality and he possessed some exceptional culinary skills. On many occasions, he would randomly prepare meals for his family, friends, and colleagues of his wife at Baptist Memorial Hospital. These nice gestures of hospitality will definitely be missed by everyone who had been privy to “A Taste of Bobby”.
His memory will forever be engraved in the heart of his loving wife of 24 years, Regina; brother Jeff (Dwan) Vinson, Martin TN; Marcus (Marquita) King, Jacksonville AL; Godmother Catherine Roberts, Union City TN; Rick (Mary) Roberts, Union City, TN, Chuck (Judy) Roberts, Mansfield TX; Linda Roberts, Hilliard, FL; Aunt Loretta Tate, Jackson TN; bonus brothers Scott Johnson (Lee Ann) Martin TN; Larry (Denese) Hicks; David (Gwyndolyn Talley; Tommy Mathis (Sandra) all of Union City ;numerous in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
