On Monday, June 10, 2019, Charles Bobby Hill, our loving husband, father, Papa, Poppa, and Papo passed away at the age of 85. Bobby was born on March 12, 1934 to Alvis and Lenora Hill in Kerens Texas. He spent most of his youth in Portales, New Mexico where he attended Eastern New Mexico University for three years before deciding to pursue other interests. Upon that decision, Uncle Sam decided to help, and he was drafted into the Army. He was honorably discharged June of 1958.
Bobby started his oilfield career with the Texas-New Mexico pipeline and spent the next 50 plus years doing everything one can do in the oilfield. He enjoyed his work so much that he didn’t retire until he was 80.
He loved to work crossword puzzles, read books, and talk with friends. Bobby was a very generous person to all and never met a stranger. He had a sharp memory and could remember countless details about each person he met.
