He was born on July 27, 1933, to Teddy and Irene Crawshaw, on the family farm and lived there his entire life. He was born into a family as the middle child, with 4 older sisters and 4 younger sisters.
He leaves behind 4 daughters; Diana (Mike) Chylewski of Murphysboro, Liz (Mike) Ballance of Willard, Missouri., Tammy (Jamie) Lipe of Makanda, and Pam Bonds (Mike Bartelsmeyer) of Hurst.

Bobby was known for many things; one being an avid story teller-taking many on the journey with him. He was a lifelong hunter and expert shot, and was known as "Old Hawk Eye." He was a helpful neighbor and always respectful of those in need, especially the elderly. He loved gardening and planted more than enough to share.
Bob was born next door to the family church. He was raised with sound Christian principles and committed his life to God and received the promise of Heaven two weeks before his death. His daughters would like to thank all those who prayed unceasingly for him. He has gone home to be with Jesus, rejoicing with those loved ones who went before him.
