Bobby Paul Rhinehart

Bobby Paul Rhinehart was born July 17, 1949, in Dallas, Texas to Paul Ralph Rhinehart and Evelyn Holveck Rhinehart. He lived a short time in Grand Prairie before moving to Cedar Hill. His sister Beverly came into the picture when he was six years old. Of course, he thought she was annoying.

He went through school in Cedar Hill. As he grew older, he discovered a talent for drawing. His favorite things to draw were airplanes and caricatures and things for his class. He had a good group of buddies and remained lifelong friends with many, especially Rick.

After high school, he met Marsha and they dated two years while he waited for her to graduate at which time they were married and just celebrated their 57th anniversary on August 22nd.

He received an associate's degree from El Centro College. After a few odd jobs, he began a 33-year career with Vought Corporation as a press foreman for aircrafts.

His daughters and granddaughters were the world to him.

From early marriage throughout life, he and Marsha made traveling a priority. So many trips with Melanie and Melissa and later with Chasitie and Chloe.

He worked many long hours to be able to take them everywhere he could, including several trips to Disney World and many to Galveston.

He will be remembered by his family as the one who held us all together loving deeply and completely and never missing a chance to say I love you.

He passed away on September 13th surrounded by family after several years of ill health.

Bob is survived by his loving wife Marsha, daughter Melanie and husband Thomas, daughter Melissa and husband Mike, granddaughters Chasitie and Chloe, sister Beverly as well as many nieces, nephew, and cousins.
