Bob Richard Gilbreth, 84, was born on July 16, 1940, in Hugo, Oklahoma, the son of Carl Lee Gilbreth and Nola (Evans) Gilbreth. He was preceded in death by his parents; son-in-law, Mark Bennett and sister, Carlena L. Gilbreth.

Bob was the definition of true grit. He was a leader amongst men and loved by all who knew him. A great father, Pepaw, uncle, husband, neighbor and friend to all walks of life. Quiet but quick witted and always steady. The epitome of a small-town southern man.

Bob loved many things about life, but his passion was to keep everyone's feathers ruffled with his ornery disposition. He wore many hats, with there not being much that he couldn't do. Although a bit of a character Bob believed a handshake deal was your word and passed those traditional values onto his family. From tilling the land to telling tall tales, his skilled hands crafted many projects. May we always remember the warmth of his love and the wisdom of his wit. His family and dear friends will forever cherish those garage nights with Bob's infamous poker games.

Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Mary of the home; daughters, Pebbles Bennett of Goodland, OK and Patti Harris and spouse, Cabell of Richmond, VA; nephew, Steve Allred  and wife, Tonia of Goodland, OK; grandchildren, Tara Lowrimore and husband, Jeff of Hugo, OK; April Bennett of Goodland, OK, Chandler Harris and Grayson Harris of Richmond, VA; 6 great grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren along with a host of other family, friends and loved ones.
