Robert "Bob" David Snodgrass

Bob was born on May 10, 1952 in Waco, TX to Lt. Col. James and Charlene Snodgrass. He is survived by his wife, Mary Margaret and five children – son David Meyer, wife Nola; daughter Terri Walton, husband Derek; daughter Jenny Schnautz, husband Brad; son Bob Snodgrass and his girlfriend Crystal; and daughter Annie Mulligan, husband Mark; eleven grandchildren – Mac, Nena, Abby, Mary, Lucy, Reagan, Evan, Isaac, Will, Zoomer and Hart; his mother Charlene and two brothers, Jack (Esther) and Jim (Jan). He was preceded in death by his father.

A consummate storyteller, we loved to hear him talk about growing up in a military family while traveling through Europe and Japan. Upon his family’s return to the States, he attended school in Springfield, Virginia before moving to Coleman, Texas, where he graduated from Coleman High School in 1970. Following graduation, Bob went on to get a business degree from the University of Texas at Austin.

He joined Texas Cotton Growers, Inc. in 1991, and was blessed to work in an industry that held to Christian values. Over the years he developed many lifelong friends who shared in those beliefs. He was known by them for his leadership, work ethic and wit. For over 15 years he held offices from delegate to secretary to president on the boards for the Texas Agricultural Co-op Council (TACC), Cotton Grower’s Warehouse Association (CGWA) and National Cotton Council.

Bob is perhaps best known for the years he spent delighting children of all ages at JJ’s Snow Cone Stand. However, nothing compares to the joy and love he had for his family. Bob was a true patriarch, supporting his family at every function and stage of life with his big heart, humor and strong faith.

Visitation will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Thursday, February 12, 2015 at Memorial Funeral Chapel, 1515 South College Avenue, Bryan, Texas. Services for Bob will be at Central Baptist Church, 1991 FM 158 Road, College Station, Texas, on Friday, February 13, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. with his oldest son David officiating.
