Robert Alan "Bob" Faurot Obituary (1948 - 2015)

Robert Alan (Bob) Faurot, age 67, died Wednesday, December 2, 2015, in Cimarron, Ks, after a long hard fight against cancer. He was born on April 18,1948 to Robert A. and Ida Jo (Watkins) Faurot. Bob married his love and best friend, Pam Stamey, on June 8, 1979. Bob was a Navy Veteran and was involved with the Sublette American Legion Post #205. He was a former member of the Order of the Eastern Star and of the Masonic Lodge Consistory Shrine. Bob had a love for sports that was passed down from his father. In his early years he shot hoops for the U.S. Navy and then later played semi-pro with the Columbus Bombers. He enjoyed coaching and umpired many baseball and softball games. He also played on Carl's Bar softball team in Hutchinson. Bob was an avid watcher of sports too, especially with his favorite teams: the Kansas Jayhawks, the New York Yankees, the Boston Celtics, and the Oakland Raiders. He loved books as much as he loved sports. Any chance he could, Bob would be in the sun or by the pool listening to music and reading. But his greatest loves were his girls: Pam, Wendy and Angie, Allison and Katelyn. Spending time with his family was important to Bob and in recent years seeing his granddaughters was the best dose of medicine he could receive. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Pam; two daughters, Wendy Faurot of Cimarron and Angie (Faurot) Reay and husband Christopher of Wichita Falls, Texas; his granddaughters Allison Reay and Katelyn Reay; his mother, Ida Jo (Watkins) Faurot of Sublette; a sister, Barbara (Faurot) Phoenix of Sublette; two nephews, Jason Phoenix of Sublette and Matt Phoenix of Borger, Texas; his aunt, Phyllis Brian and husband Ray of Hutchinson and family; his uncle, Dick Merz of Satanta and family; and many friends. He is proceeded in death by his grandparents, Ed and Mabel Watkins, Harv and Clara Faurot; his father, Robert "Bob" Faurot; his brother-in-law, Jim Phoenix; two aunts, Phyllis Merz and Nina Faurot.
