Robert Register Boynton Jr.

Bob served with the United States Air Force for 20 years prior to receiving his Honorable Discharge on 30 June 1973. He attained the rank of Technical Sergeant (E-6) and his specialty was listed as Aircraft Maintenance Tech and Airplane Mechanic. He had one and a half years of foreign service in Indochina. After returning to Lufkin, he went to work for Lufkin Industries and remained until he also retired from there.

Bob loved his family - he was a good husband, father and grandfather. For enjoyment, he looked forward to going to "the deer lease" where he would hunt, fish and spend time with his family and friends. He really enjoyed planning a "fish fry" and inviting all of the family and friends to partake.
