Bobby was born on May 29, 1959 in Guymon, Oklahoma to Paul and Rozilla Harland. He grew up in Texhoma with most of that time on a family farmstead. Bob attended Texhoma Schools from kindergarten until graduation from High School in 1977. During those years he was involved in 4-H, FFA, basketball, football and band. Bob received a livestock judging scholarship to Lamar Community College in Lamar, Colorado. Bob won many awards for showing animals and judging them. Bob continued his college journey at Lubbock Christian College, becoming a member of the Aggie Club. He then finished his degree in Agricultural Business at Panhandle State University in 1982.

Bob started his working years as a salesman at Veers International in Guymon, OK. This job was the beginning of Bob’s many years in selling farm equipment. He became self-employed a few years later dealing in used farm equipment and later acquiring irrigation pipe. This job was perfect for Bob. He loved talking to people, especially farmers. This was also a business that Bob and his father enjoyed together. Bob also worked on the side as an organizer of Machinery Auctions. Bob was never afraid of trying new opportunities creating an income for himself and his family. Bob was currently employed with Tri-County Electric in Hooker Oklahoma. He spent the last 10 years working as a Landman. Bob thoroughly enjoyed the friendships he made over during his evolving career.

Bob enjoyed many hobbies, including fishing, golfing, bowling and coin collecting. Coin collecting was a mutual interest he shared with his father. They attended many coin shows together and made many friends along the way. They were truly a father/son team. Bob was also involved in his Church. He and his family have been members of the Hooker Church of Christ for many years. Bob led singing, worked with the sound system and anything else that was asked of him. Bob continued to find that his niche was serving others.

Bob’s greatest accomplishment was his family. He would do anything for his wife and his daughters. He dearly loved his girls. He was able to survive the many shopping trips to show he LOVED HIS GIRLS! His love did not stop there, Bob brought joy to the lives of many people. He always took interest in friends, family, and people he barely knew. His nieces and nephews could always count on Uncle Bob to give them a hard time, tell them a funny story, or just make them laugh. This made Uncle Bob their favorite.
