Bobby Lee Hair

Bobby Lee Hair was born on May 1st, 1954, in Tahlequah, Ok, the son of Sam and Leona (Crittenden) Hair. He grew up with five brothers and two sisters, LeeAnn, Jess, Sammy, Mary, Chester, Randy and Arthur. The family grew up in the Tahlequah, Hulbert, and Lost City areas. He played football in school and was everyone's best friend. His grandfather favorite line was “let Bob do it, Bob will help me.” Upon graduating, he started trucking for a living. He found a job at Pryor Truss, and worked there in the construction business for 25 years. He started a family and was the proud Papa of five daughters and two sons, Christina, Crystal, Wayne, Mary, Tressie, Samantha, and Anthony. When he wasn’t working, he was keeping up with his grandchildren, fishing and hanging out. He liked to watch NCIS, Star Trek, Girls Tennis, and old classic movies. He loved to go hunting, and keeping up with his grandchildren’s activities. The simple things in life were the best, and this included watching the sun setting from his own front porch. He treasured his friends and enjoyed time spent with them. He was a Baptist by faith and the Lord called him home from his labors on May 14th, 2023 after reaching the age of 69 years. He will be greatly missed.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, his mother and father, three brothers, Arthur, Chester and Sammy and the mother of his children, Leona Collins.
