He is also survived by his three nieces, Christy Brown and husband Doug of McGintytown, Melissa Bell and husband Evan of Conway, Shelly McNeil and husband Rance of Greenbrier with multiple nieces and nephews.
Bobby loved his family. He would tell you in an instant about his son, Jason and his Grandkids. He was a quiet man with a clever wit, a twinkle in his eye and a chuckle that would let you know he’d just pulled something over on you. Bobby learned early on to enjoy the simple things in life being outdoors, hunting, fishing and beautiful sunsets. One of his best kept secrets was his ability to paint beautiful pictures of the things he loved. Bobby loved wood working and building things out of Cedar. One of his proudest accomplishments was a barn he built and filled with some of his favorite things, that became a place to share his all-time passion with his friends and family, his music. Like most McGinty’s Bobby loved to play music and sing from an early age. Bobby played the bass guitar and sang bass for the Singing McGinty’s gospel quartet. Later on, he played with several bands: One Way Road, In A Moment’s Notice and many other bands. Bobby will be greatly missed and remembered by his family and friends for the joy he brought to their lives.
Jason and Bobby’s family would like to thank Arkansas Hospice for the love and care they provided during this time.
