Robert “Bob” Street

Robert “Bob” Street, 71, formerly of La Grange, returned to his heavenly home on Feb. 6, 2016, after a valiant battle with a long illness. Bob was born to parents L.W. and Elsie Street on July 12, 1944 in Vernon. He grew up as the eldest of four and attended Grand falls High School. He received his Bachelor’s degree at Sul Ross State University in 1978. Bob was honored to have served in both the United States Navy and the Texas branch of the National Guard. Bob was blessed with a loving family. He married his high school sweetheart and best friend, Betty Covill, on May 31, 1966. During their 49 years of marriage, Bob helped in raising their two children, John Street of Bryan and Deborah Street McShannon of Temple. As a family, they shared many adventurous moments and trips. A memorial service will be held in his honor at 2 p.m. on Feb. 20, 2016 at Christ United Methodist Church in College Station.
