Robert Bob Julian Munoz

Born in Hanford, CA to Vincent and Bridget Munoz on April 13, 1946, Bob learned at a young age the value of hard work, perseverance and a kind heart.

He met his wife Jessie Gonzales at a dance in Riverdale, CA in 1964, they married on August 6, 1966 and it marked the beginning for an incredible almost 50 year marriage.

In 1966 Bob took a full-time job at Sears by day and a part-time job at a liquor store by night until he landed a job as a laborer/plumber at Lemoore Naval Air Station in 1968. In 1987, fate took Bob to a job at the California Dept. of Corrections, as a plumber/supervisor where he spent over 14 years until he retired in 2001. He was a motivated individual and started up a business, R & R backflow, testing and repair, where he worked hard to build a successful clientele until his body told him that enough was enough on April 22, 2016.

Because of his kind heart and giving personality, Bob had friends, friends and more friends; Bob’s passions were his family, work and helping others.

Bab was an active member of the Knights of Columbus for 23 years in addition to serving as a Grand Knight.

Bob is survived by his wife Jessie, two sons Brad (Suzanne) Munoz, Robert (Margarita) Munoz, his grandchildren Dominic, Tamara, Savannah, Julianna, Karina, Jordyn and Christopher. His brother Richard (Kim) Munoz, sister Gloria Green and many, many family members.

Bob was cared for tenderly and lovingly by his wife, family and friends in the last year of his life.

Bob was a proud husband, father and grandfather; he was a selfless man who enjoyed working hard to provide for his family. He will be dearly missed by his family and many friends.
