Robert Mansfield Mullins Jr.

Born in Tuscaloosa on October 28, 1944, he spent his early years in Carrollton and Reform. Robert became a star athlete at Baldwin Junior High School in Montgomery, lettering in track. He attended Sidney Lanier High School before joining the Alabama Air National Guard. His education continued at John Patterson Technical College, where he studied auto body repair, and began a career that spanned more than four decades. Robert was employed by Cobb-Kirkland Motors as an estimator. In later years, he transitioned into auto insurance as an adjuster before retiring in 2014.

Robert enjoyed fishing, watching NASCAR and wrestling, and was a big fan of Alabama football. You could also find him taking long walks in the park, listening to the sounds of nature.
