Robert "Bob" Ellsworth Precure

Bob was born on July 14, 1930 in Choctaw, Oklahoma to Robert Boaz and Rena Mae (Wickens) Precure. He graduated high school from Muleshoe High School in Muleshoe, TX in 1948. Bob lettered in track, baseball, and boxing, and he was an all-around natural athlete. Bob was a radio man in the Navy and could and would tap out Morse code his entire life. He attended the New Mexico Military Institute and graduated from Oklahoma City University where he played baseball. At O.C.U., he met the love of his life, Kathryn Ann Jones and they were married on February 26, 1956. They were married 59 years, until Kathy's death in 2015. They loved travelling together.

Bob was in the grocery business at Precure's Grocery in the Britton area for many years. He retired from Sears Roebuck & Co. After retirement he took on a new job working with his sons and daughter at Primary Structure. He loved working with his children. Bob was blessed with so many natural abilities. He had a great ear for music and a beautiful singing voice. He was a natural competitor in all things - card games, Wahoo games, golf, softball, bowling, tennis, volleyball -- and he was unbelievably good at all of them. Bob loved attending his grand-children's events, and his vocal/competitive nature would sometimes get him in trouble with the referee/umpire/official.

Bob is survived by his six children Mary (Dan) Waters, Cindy (Steven) Swann, Rob (Angie) Precure, Rick (Claudia) Precure, Lynda Barnes and Amy (Shannan) Stewart; his 16 grandchildren Sara, Susan, Becca, Lizzie, Annie, Katy, Molly, Emily, Paige, Cole, Kaitlyn, Jimmy, Drew, Ethan, Evan and Erin and 10 great-grandchildren.

He was a wonderful and loving Dad and PawPaw. He loved to have fun and he was not shy about sharing how much God blessed his life.

Preceding him in death were his loving wife, his parents, his brother Don and his son-in-law David.
