Bobby Earl was born May 6, 1947, in Wilson, N.C. He was the son of Arthur Douglas Spivey and Hattie Lee Dameron. He married Flora Jean Stancil. Sadly, this did not last.
His two daughters are Nancy Lee Spivey Hackney, married to Jeff and Tracey Renee Spivey Duke, married to Chad.
His two granddaughters are Tori Alexis Duke and Dawn Chastity Duke.
Daughter Nancy shared this: ”He was called by many names …’ The Mayor’, ‘The Marlboro Man’, ‘The Man’, ‘Big Bob’, ‘Bobby’, I called him 'Daddy.'
He was a true Southern gentleman. Daddy made his transition to eternal life on Friday. He never met a stranger. He was a true southern gentleman and a lady’s man. He loved horses and a simple life. All who met him loved him. Even the way people called his name when they said, ‘Bobby’, was so filled with love that it is hard to explain in words. He was quick to agree and most times would reply to things with a passionate and resounding “Yeaaaaahhh! ”We celebrate his life and our memories. Happy father day in Heaven, Daddy! I love you.”
