Bob is survived by his wife Merle, his two children Karee Kimbro and Cameron Cobb, his grandchildren Ryan Kimbro and Kellee Kimbro, and cousins Sam Torn, Susan Torn Young, Margie Torn Patrick, and Pat Torn Alexander. The thing Bob cherished most in his life was his sweet wife Merle with whom he shared all those happy years since their marriage in 1951. Bob and Merle began in Houston working and raising their children, later settling in Brenham in 1998 after retirement. Bob and Merle have shared such a happy life together in their beautiful home (designed by Merle) in the countryside of rural Brenham.
