Bobby married Linda Preston Hawn on April 26, 1968 and they had almost 48 years of a devotion and love that is rarely seen . He worked for 38 years as a machinist for Tri-State Oil Tool in Bossier city and later for Baker Hughes in Prudhoe Bay, Deadhorse AK.. After retirement he worked for ML Bath Co.. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Marion Hawn Sr., his nephew, Michael Fargerson & his beloved grandparents.

Bobby was an avid hunter and fisherman who was always happiest in the woods or on the water. He learned to make duck calls from his beloved grandfather, Burpo Attaway, and passed that knowledge on to his son & grandsons who continue to make Market Hunter calls in the family tradition.

Bobby never met a stranger and made friends where ever he went. He had so many special people in his life and among his favorites were his nurses at WK Bossier, the pharmacy staff at Brookshires in Haughton and the suppliers he dealt with for his duck calls. His sense of humor was priceless and kept laughter in the hearts of everyone who was in contact with him each and every day, no matter how sick he was or bad he felt he always had a smile on his face.

Bobby always had time for his family and no matter how long his day was or how tired he was always there to coach his son's baseball or football team, go fishing to discuss life and teach his sons to be men. He also took up that mantle with his grandsons later on in his life. A better husband, father and grandfather could not have been wished for as this wonderful man filled the bill and more. Bobby's wife & children are thankful for every day and every second they had with their beloved husband & father. He will be missed beyond words.
