October 18, 1938 — April 17, 2018
Bobby Glen Gibbs, Sr. was born October 18, 1938 in Morris Chapel, TN the son of the late Finley (Tony) and Harue Moffett Gibbs.
He was united in marriage to Patsy George on June 21, 1959. They were members of the First Christian Church in Adamsville where they loved their family church.
Bobby started his career with Frito Lay in Memphis, TN, as he progressed with the company they relocated to Birmingham, Alabama and then on to Athens, Georgia where he was District Sales Manager. In 1972 Bobby, Patsy, Bobby Jr, and Kathy decided to return to Bobby's hometown and restore Bobby's childhood home in Crump, TN. Through his work ethics and dedication to the company, Frito Lay gave him a truck and merchandise for him to establish his own route in his hometown and surrounding areas. In 1978 Bobby and the family decided to make their home in Adamsville, TN. In 2000 he retired from Frito Lay with 37 years of service. Bobby's love for Antiques inspired him to be an avid collector of Gas and Oil memorabilia, leading him to open Gibbs Gas and Oil in downtown Adamsville. He was also an Antique Car and Tractor enthusiast. He and Patsy traveled throughout the South to tractor shows. Two of his many Antique cars were sold and shipped all the way to England.
