Clyde 'Bob' Bumgarner

Bob was born to Roy and Viola Bumgarner in Malvern, Arkansas, the youngest of nine children on April 29, 1940. He graduated from Eastern University with a degree in education. He and his first wife were parents to Holly Brad Pullman, Jeff Kristi West Richland, and Heidi John Wichita, Kansas.

In 1986 Bob married Sue Jones and became the stepfather to Doug Kylie Terrigal, Australia, Rick Pam Richland, and Amanda Dan Seattle.

He was very proud of his twelve his twelve grandchildren; Cory, Kyler, Cayley, Alexa, Madison, Sydney, Carly, Alison, Flynn, Vander, Rhett, Jack and a baby girl expected in September. And we can�t forget Lucy, his shih tzu who went everywhere with him. She was his shadow and he truly loved her.

Bob taught and coached at Richland High School and then transferred to Hanford Middle & High School when it first opened. Bob taught woodshop and PE but his passion was coaching at the middle school level. He coached girl�s basketball and softball and boy�s football, basketball and baseball. He retired from teaching in 1997 and from coaching a few years later.

Upon his retirement Bob took up golf. Before his first heart attack in 2008 you could find Bob at the West Richland Golf Course, playing in wind, rain or snow. If the course was open, Bob was there.

There will be a memorial service Saturday, June 4 from 2:00 - 4:00 at Round Table Pizza on George Washington Way, Richland.

Thank you to everyone who touched Bob's life.
