Bobby Ray Perkins, 86, was born in Huntsville, Alabama. He was a Vietnam veteran and a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He attended Lincoln Church of Christ.
Bobby loved Alabama football. In his later years, he enjoyed watching Westerns at home with his two dogs, Sarah and April. Around dinnertime, you could usually find Bobby and his wife at one of their favorite spots—Blue Plate Cafe, Mildred’s, or Rolo’s. He always enjoyed a good hamburger. Bobby also loved to fish and would ask just about anyone he met if they wanted to go fishing with him.
Survivors include his wife, Shirley Perkins; children, Sylvia Dean (Tom) and Michael Perkins (Angie); half-brothers, Billy Perkins, Danny Perkins, and Bill Coggin; numerous grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
