Robert "Barber Bob" Glaspie, 91, pulled away from the dock for the last time on March 26, 2022.

Robert was born July 2, 1930 in Troup, Tex.

A Korean War veteran, Bob drove a tank and served in the military guard before receiving an honorable discharge and marrying Salina Gayle Hester Goodman in 1952. They later divorced and he married Mary Niles in 1975, who proceeded him in death.

He lived a full life working as a barber for over forty years, operated the Central Ferry Store, and worked for farmers in Garfield County. After retirement, he spent every summer sport reward fishing on the Snake River at Boyer Park with his best buddy Hank Reardon and made many great friends at the park.

He was well loved and will be missed greatly.
