Robert was born October 21, 1937. He was one of three sons born to Odis and Lucile Wilson on a family farm in Parker County.
Robert was a devout, life-time Christian. He served his country in the U.S. Army. On December 23, 1960, Robert married Lena Hickerson and together had two sons, Robert, Jr. and David. Robert ‘never met a stranger’ and was a friend to everyone he met. He was a Knight of the Pythians for many years. Robert will be remembered as a handy-man and for ‘liking things done his way.’ Following retirement, Robert enjoyed taking care of his parent’s farm. He always put his family first. Robert cherished time spent with his family – particularly his children and grandchildren.
