Robert C. "Bob" Smith, our dearest husband, daddy, paw paw, brother, uncle and friend went into the Father's arms on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. He was born on July 8, 1954, in Cape Girardeau, MO, to the late Clyde Harold and Kathryn Ruth Edwards Smith. Bob married Georgia Ann Kirchdoerfer on August 30, 1975. He was the produce manager of Schnucks Supermarket for 39 years in Cape Girardeau, MO. He was a member of St. Ambrose Catholic Church in Chaffee, MO, St. Ambrose Men's Club and President of the Chaffee Housing Authority. Anyone who ever had the blessing of knowing him cannot deny that unforgettable laugh and his smile. His witty sense of humor could make you laugh so hard you would cry, whether at work or at home. Bob enjoyed looking at and buying the best cars, keeping his movie theater at the highest level, watching movies and Johnny Carson, going to Branson on family vacations and listening to his loud stereo. Above all, he treasured his time with his family. He loved spending time with his wife, Georgia, of 39 years, his oldest, middlest and baby girls as well as his grandbabies. He was so tickled to squeeze their cheeks and give those big hugs and kisses that will never be forgotten and always be missed. Survivors include his wife, Georgia of the home; three daughters, Christina (Jim) Duby of Cape Girardeau, MO, Jessica (Josh) Hanlon of Chaffee, MO, Ashlie (Scott) Johnston of Scott City, MO; one brother, Ronnie (Vickie) Smith of Jefferson City, MO; eight grandchildren, Grace Cassout, Tryston, Drue and Kyleigh Duby, Craig, Jocelyn and Asher Hanlon and Colby Johnston. He was also preceded in death by a sister, Donna Cannon. Friends may call after 4 p.m., Friday, November 7, 2014, at Amick-Burnett Funeral Chapel in Chaffee, MO.
