Obituary for the L“ egendary ” INGLISH ROBERT BAILEY November 18, 1930 - November 12, 2016
Robert Bailey Inglish, better known as “Crazy Bob”, 85, of Bell- ville, Texas, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, No- vember 12, 2016.
“Crazy Bob” was truly a Legend - both in the
cattle and “cooked” molasses tub business. He had the vision 43 years ago when the cattle market collapsed, that “cooked” mo- lasses tubs was his future, but AGAINST ALL ODDS, his true grit, character, and hard work ethic made “cooked” tubs the SUCCESS they are today! The reason he was called “Crazy Bob” is he would do ANYTHING … to make you remember him! The Inglish family would like to thank each and every one of you for sharing your love with him, but rest assured that his legacy of Postive Feed, Ltd., will be continued by the Inglish family!
