Bobbie was born December 19, 1937 to Edward and Rebecca Work in Quenton, OK. In 1939 the family moved to Lamont, CA. Bobbie attended Lamont grade schools and graduated from Arvin High in 1955.
After graduation he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force for a four-year term.
When he returned he met and married his loving wife of 43 years, Sylvia. Together they raised 4 children.
Bobbie worked for the Kern County Sheriff's Dept. for 12 years, most of those as a deputy in Lamont. He then became co-owner and operator of Bob's Auto Supply & Machine Shop. After 20 years he decided to sell the business, but continued to work in auto parts for 5 years
He served on the Lamont School Board and coached J.B.A. for a number of years. Bobbie was a strong supporter for our local schools and businesses. Upon retirement he was disgnosed with cancer, missing out on many plant, but for the last year and a half he enjoyed just hanging out with the gang at the Courtesty Drive-In, going to the Parts Store and being with his friends at The Newton Farm.. It was not unusual to see him just cruising around and looking at all the local fields of crops and talking to the farmers.
Bobbie was preceded in death by his parents, Rebecca and Edward Work.
