Bobby Lee Belzer

Ruth and Clyde Belzer in Kirksville, Missouri. Bobby peacefully left us on Thursday, November 30, 2023,

with his loved ones by his side. Bobby's journey began in Kirksville, Missouri, where he graduated from

Linn County R1 in Browning, MO in 1960. Following graduation, Bobby worked at Sears and Roebuck

until he embarked on a remarkable life that took him to Chicago, where he worked for the fire

department and laid the foundation for his career in the plastic industry at Auburn Plastics.

Upon moving to Florida, Bobby continued his professional journey by relocating the company, Auburn

Plastics, to Florida until the year of 1985, when he ventured into entrepreneurship and founded his own

company, American Plastics Supply Mfg. Known for his creativity and kindness, Bobby fostered a positive

work environment, leaving a lasting impact on both employees and customers alike. Bobby enjoyed

sailing, hunting, and visiting family in Missouri, visiting auctions, collecting, creating anything he can get

his hands on. In addition, Bobby enjoyed piloting small aircraft, cooking, camping, singing karaoke, and

most of all, spending quality time with his friends and family.

After retiring in 2019, Bobby dedicated much of his time to personal projects, including working with

vinyl machines and 3D printing. His inventive spirit and passion for creation continued to shine brightly

following retirement. Beyond his professional pursuits and passions, Bobby found immense joy in

spending time with his beloved children, grandchildren, and cherished pets. Bobby is preceded in death

by his sister, Brenda Edger, and his parents, Clyde and Ruth Belzer. Bobby leaves a loving family that will

miss him deeply, daughter Kristen, Vicky, Addison, and Haven, his niece Jennifer and adoring

grandchildren, Amy, Michael, Leelan, Parker, Addilyn, and Charlie.
