Bobby Gene Verdine
7/21/1932 - 9/28/2017
Bobby Gene Verdine, 85, of Alvin, TX passed away on Thursday, September 28, 2017. He was born July 21, 1932 to Edvole Verdine and Minnie Mae Rose Verdine in Beaumont, TX.
Bobby attended Texas A&M and graduated in 1955. He was a member and deacon at South Park Baptist Church in Alvin since 1968.
He started his educational career in Alvin, TX with the Alvin ISD in 1968 as the principal at Mark Twain Primary and later moved to R.L. Stevenson Elementary. He had the respect of students, faculty members, other principals and the parents. In 1992, he moved to a position in the Central Administration Building. He eventually became the acting Superintendent of the schools and retired in 1999.

In 2016, the Alvin ISD Agricultural Science Center was dedicated to Bobby G. Verdine. His educational career had gone full circle, as he started out being an agriculture teacher in the 1950’s.

He is survived by his daughter, Cheri Gideons and husband Patrick of Alvin; son Ralph Verdine of Alvin; grandson, Kevin Verdine and wife Delia of Sugarland; great-grandchildren, Victoria, Vince, Chance and Madeline; 2 great-great-grandchildren; nieces, Beverly Barnett of Silsbee and Cecile Clauder of Lumberton; and many other relatives and great friends.
