Bobby Lee Asbury, 84, of Otterville, passed away Friday, January 3, 2020 at University of Missouri Hospital in Columbia, surrounded by his family.
He was born March 6, 1935 at the family home in Pleasant Green, one of five children of Earl Calvin and Mildred Marie (Shaw) Asbury.
Bob was a 1953 graduate of Pilot Grove High School.

Bob started out working for the family business, Asbury and Sons, which specialized in plastering. The business was currently named Exterior Wall Systems. His career spanned over sixty years, working up until the Friday before his passing.
He was a Christian man who was deeply dedicated to his family, working hard to provide for them. Bob had a kind, caring and gentle heart. He was quiet, but strong, and very loving. He was genuine, generous and would help anyone. He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
Outside of work, he enjoyed old cars and his various collections.
