He was born on November 11, 1941, in Linden TN to the late Rube and Hazel Dunn Stinnett.
On October 11, 1963, Bob married the love of his life, Rosemarie Litchford Stinnett, who survives of the home.
He left the cotton fields of Bertrand MO at the age of 19, where he farmed with his daddy, to begin his career at Missouri Delta Medical Center. He retired 47 years later, as the Superintendent of the maintenance department and the longest standing employee of the hospital at that time. Bob devoted his life to the Missouri Delta Medical Center and his wife of 60 years who ironically he met there as a patient.
During Bob’s final days, the medical staff went above and beyond their mission to treat Bob and his family with love, care and compassion.
He was a member of the Bement Baptist Church.
He is survived by two sons, Bobby Stinnett II (fiancé Terrie Graham) of Sikeston and Chris (Amy) Stinnett of Portageville, four grandsons, Jacob (Kendra) Stinnett of Sikeston, Joshua Stinnett of Tyler, TX and William and Wyatt Stinnett of Portageville and one sister, Julie Ballew of Olympia, Washington and numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters Ruth Coleman and Mary Lou Montgomery and his brother Tom Stinnett.
Bob had a true love for the Lord, his family, friends, music and the outdoors. Bob never met a stranger and always knew how to make you laugh with his endless jokes, poems and songs. He was truly the life of the party and a friend to all who met him. Bob will be missed by many.
