Bob loved Jesus authentically and was known for commenting at funerals “I wish it had been me.” He lived his life with intention to be with Jesus when He called him home! After a near fatal car accident in 1985, Bob dedicated his life to God and began his journey into comprehensive study of the Bible and continued each and every morning since that time at his kitchen table. He attended Hewitt Trussville High School, graduating in 1974. He then enjoyed a career with Norfolk Southern Railroad until his car accident. He found great joy in helping his family and fellow church members with handyman jobs around their homes where he could fix absolutely anything and helped his friends with cabinetry, roofing and carpentry work because he loved them. He enjoyed cutting his lawn and that of his sisters as well as his church, Argo Christian Fellowship.
Bob was predeceased by his parents and his nephew Cameron Lane Terrell.
He is survived by his sisters: Brenda McFrancis Terrell, Joy McFrancis Thornhill, Kathy McFrancis-Crittenden, and Yvonne McFrancis Pope; as well as numerous nieces, great nieces, nephews, great nephews, cousins and a host of loving friends.

A celebration of life was held on Sunday, June 11, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at Argo Christian Fellowship.
