Dr. Bobby Cargill was born in Bryan, TX March 22, 1935, the son of the late George and Stella Cargill. He left to be with his heavenly father on September 17, 2012. Bobby graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School and TAMU College of Veterinary Medicine Class of 1960. He married Barbara Joy Hall, daughter of Charles “Red” and Vera Hall November 24, 1954.

After graduation he served in the U.S. Armed Services Veterinary Corp from 1962 to 1964. At the conclusion of his service he returned to Bryan where he practiced Veterinary Medicine at Bryan Animal Clinic along with his brother Howard. Later he was co-owner of El Cerrito Animal Clinic until his retirement in 1995.

Ranching was Bobby’s passion. He served as President of the Bryan Young Farmers from 1965-66, Agriculture Vice President of the Bryan-College Station Chamber of Commerce from 1972-74 and was one of the founders and President from 1976-78 of the Brazos County Youth Livestock Association. Dr. Bobby served for more than thirty years on the steer committee for the Houston Livestock Show. For a number of years he was successful in raising club calves. He produced many show winners for young men and women. His calves won first place at local shows as well as several breed champions at the prestigious Houston Livestock Show.

Over the years he and his wife, Barbara, mentored many young people. Through his influence, they have gone on to become successful Veterinarians, business men, and leaders in their communities. He was a role model of utmost character and a faithful servant. He will be greatly missed and his legacy will live on through the character that he instilled in others.
