Robert Lloyd Smedley Jr.

"Bob" graduated from Crawford High School and was a U.S. Airforce veteran having served during the Vietnam War. After his military service, he began his 41 year career with T. M. Cobb Co. and retired in 2010. Bob enjoyed his “motorcycle” days, beach life, the OMBAC Over the Line tournaments and a good joke. Deep down Bob was an enterprising adventurer having been the co-owner with his father (Bob Sr.) of the Baseball Inn. The Inn was established on 16th and Island and later moved to 5th and Island. The Inn was home to many a Padre fan complete with tales of the "good ole days" that spun well into the night. Another adventure landed him a race horse that had several "in the money" races at the Del Mar Track until it took a fall and had to be put down.

Bob celebrated life with an ear to ear smile, passion and a caring heart...

Bob was a loving father and is survived by his son David T. Smedley (Carrie) and daughter Shannyn D. Stern, 2 brothers, Stephen L. Smedley and Ronald S. Smedley, 2 grandchildren, 2 nieces, 2 aunts, and 11 cousins.

A Mass service will be held on Monday, January 9, 2017 at 10:30am at Our Mother of Confidence in La Jolla. A Military burial will follow at 1:30pm at Miramar National Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Wounded Warrior Project.
