Bobby Ray Willis, 78, of Hull, Texas, passed away at his residence surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on December 12 ,1945 in Malta Texas, to the late Mart Otis Willis and Lena Dell Revelle Willis.

Bobby proudly served in the U.S. Airforce. He was an avid hunter and fisher but most of all, he loved playing guitar and had the honor to play with Ray Price.

Bobby was a jack of all trades, from being a carpenter, mechanic and being a truck driver throughout his life. He was a loving man who was firm to his word which brings his Cherokee Indian roots out. He was a godly man who loved the lord and had a strong disciplinary strict demeanor that will never be forgotten.

He was a forgiving person but not forgetful. Bobby will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
