Robert Lee ``Bobby'' Hair

COUNTYLINE -- Services for Robert Lee ``Bobby'' Hair, 70, will be at 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 15, 2007, at Countyline First Baptist Church with the Rev. Mike Johnston and Rev. Roger Sims officiating. Interment will be at Graham Cemetery under the direction of Alexander Funeral Home.

Born on Feb. 11, 1937 in Mingus, Texas, to Thurber Porter ``T.P.'' and Opal Ollie McFadden Hair, he died on March 12, 2007, in Ardmore. He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Tommy Hair; and stepson, T.J. Morris.

Raised in Clemscott, in a house that is still standing, and the Graham and Fox area where he attended school through tenth grade, he joined the U.S. Air Force on May 3, 1954 and served honorably four years. Bobby was a very proud man, being a friend to all.

He and Mardelle LeDoux Whisenhunt were married on July 21, 1989, in Gainesville, Texas. He loved his children and family dearly. He was a very hard worker, employed in the oil fields all his life, most recently by Kleen Oilfield Services as a rig pusher. He was a stranger to no one, always a jokester to everyone, including his wife and grandchildren. He will be deeply missed.

Survivors include his wife, ``Mardy,'' of the home; two daughters, Becky Hair, Graham, and LeAnn Hair, Healdton; stepchildren, Melody Pedigo and husband, Douglas, and Claude Morris and wife, Sherri, Pauls Valley, and Tammy Martin and husband, Raymond, Monroe, La.; sisters, Sybil Camp and husband, Chuck, Cundit, Ky., Katherine Colvin and husband, Von, Countyline, Betty Lou Dorris, Strawn, Texas, Nancy Hitt and husband, Mike, Blanchard, and Vickie Udell and husband, Jerry, Lawton; 26 grandchildren and stepgrandchildren; eight great-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews.
