He married his high school sweetheart and soulmate Nam T. Richards on March 1, 1985. He retired as Chief Warrant Officer O2 (USCG) with service of 22 years. Bob was an entrepreneur of J&J Custom Interiors and prided himself by creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces for every client he worked with. He was a “master tinkerer” and was able to create anything he put his mind to, including cars, motorcycles, homes, and a variety of other exclusive woodworking and leather projects. His greatest passions included riding motorcycles and shooting pool with “all his buddies,” custom woodworking, grilling out, and experiencing life to the fullest. Above all, he loved his wife and children. Bob was preceded by his loving wife, Nam and father, Jon Dale Jeffries. Bob is survived by his mother Sue Ellen Green and step father William Green; his beloved children: Robert D Jeffries and Ellen Nicole Jeffries; and his brother, William T Jeffries (wife Pohai).
