He was raised in Hutchins and attended school there, graduating with the Class of 1959. Bobby then attended North Texas University where he studied commercial art. After leaving college, he moved to Purcell to help with the family business, Sherri Classics. It was here that Bobby met a young lady named Alta Hall.

Bobby worked for more than 25 years in the family business. When his mother Elizabeth retired, he assumed the role of President, and remained in this capacity until Sherri Classics closed its doors.
