Robert Charles "Bob" Griffin

Robert Charles “Bob” Griffin of Beach City, Texas, age 85, passed away peacefully Thursday, September 8, 2022. He was born on January 22, 1937, in Waco, Texas. He was a faithful member of Missouri Street Church of Christ.

Bob grew up on Jones Road in Highlands, Texas, and graduated from Robert E Lee High School in 1955. He then played basketball at Lee College before transferring and graduating from Sam Houston State University. He married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Jane G’Sell in 1959. Bob’s professional career took him from Houston to Tulsa, Kansas City, and Baton Rouge before moving his family back to Baytown in 1970. He then fulfilled his dream of starting his own company, IMSCO, with his business partner, Gary Armer. It was always evident that Bob's true passion was taking care of customers through sales and unequaled service. IMSCO eventually grew to have five locations. Bob always treasured the many lasting friendships and memories that were developed through 50 years in the supply business.

Bob’s family was always his top priority. He enjoyed getting family together and spent many weekends gathering around the pool. Bob was always involved in his children's activities and was the President of the East Little League. He also looked forward to attending all of his grandchildren's ballgames, recitals, and other activities. One of his most favorite things was gathering the entire family each year for Thanksgiving at his ranch in Brownwood, TX. The ranch was his favorite place on earth and he enjoyed nothing more than sharing it with countless friends and family. He would often recollect special memories and fun times of hunting trips throughout the years. Bob was always such a giving man and wanted others to enjoy the ranch.

Bob is survived by Jane, his loving wife of 63 years. Their children and spouses are Rob and Lisa Griffin, Ron and Nancy Griffin, and Nancy and Kyle Cauley; grandchildren Lauren and Graham Brown, Robert and Kelsey Griffin, Kelsey and Seth Mannon, Wes and Brielle Cauley, Mattie Griffin, and Riley Griffin and fiancée Jade Meador; great-grandsons Charlie Griffin (Robert Charles Griffin IV), Briggs Mannon, and Benjamin Brown. Bob is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents Horace Leroy Griffin and Bonnie Tibbs Griffin, his brother and sister-in-law H.L. and Marcia Griffin, and his brother-in-law Ted G’Sell Jr. He leaves behind a host of relatives and dear family friends.
