T uesDay
BOBBY THEODORE PE-
TERS, 74, entered into Glory
with our Lord Jesus Christ on
Sunday morning, November 12,
2017, at 7:45 a.m. in Astoria.
He was a seven-year resident
of Hammond, Oregon. Bobby
was loved by many and will be
missed by all who knew him.
Bobby was born in Birming-
ham, Ala., on Christmas Eve, De-
cember 24, 1942 to Gladys Levan
Pollard and Charles Lee Peters.
Both parents preceded him in
death.
His life’s work was in auto
body repair and painting, own-
ing several shops of his own in
both Northern and Southern
California. After retiring, Terie
and Bobby relocated to the Pacif-
ic North Coast of Oregon where
they eventually went to work at
Point Adams Packing Company.
Bobby worked until September,
2017.
Bobby has two children from
his first marriage: Terrance Earl
(1963) and Kimberlyn Renee
(1965). Both Terrance (Glori)
Peters and Kimberlyn (Jerry)
Morris survive Bobby.
Bobby is survived by his wife of
41 years, Terie.
Left to mourn his passing are
stepmother Rose Alice Peters of
Indiana; sisters: Shirley Hall of
Georgia; Linda Thomas of Vir-
ginia; Gwen Peters of Alabama;
JoJo Peters of Indiana. Also,
brothers Charles Peters, Jr. and
Chad Peters of Indiana; as well
as many nieces, nephews, and
grandchildren.
Bobby loved and was very
proud of his six grandchildren.
They are Stanley, Terrance and
Simone Peters of Florida. Also,
Robert, Ryan, and Christopher
Morris of California.
Bobby is also survived by nu-
merous family members in Or-
egon and Washington who all
loved him and whom he loved.
Bobby often said that he greatly
treasured his wife’s family be-
cause of the way they all accept-
ed him and loved him.
Our grief is deep as is our
mourning:

Best friend, Allen Berry, will
forever miss the conversations
and laughter that the two men
shared.
Whether cheering on their fa-
vorite basketball teams or en-
joying a day at Coffinbury Lake
where they loved to drown
worms, Bobby and Allen enjoyed
a friendship that each referred
to as a true kinship: they were
brothers.
Special friends, Jill Benish and
Mark Peterson, will certainly
miss Bobby.

way Community Church in
