Private family services to be held. Please contact the family for further details and directions. 

Bobby Joe “Bob” Lollis, Sr., 79, of Owasso, OK, was born on November 28, 1944, in Tulsa, OK, to William Elmo Lollis and Trophel Tyreon (Smallwood) Lollis. He passed away September 19, 2024, in Owasso, OK.

Bob graduated from Daniel Webster High School in 1963. That same year, through the Edison brothers, he met the love of his life, Theresa Mae Edison. They were married on December 14, 1963. He worked at American Airlines for 38 years and retired as crew chief over the case weld shop. His appointment as Crew Chief allowed him to happily share his vast knowledge by mentoring many of the younger co-workers. American Airlines was also a hot spot for many intense games of dominoes over the years.

Bob had many activities and hobbies. To name just a few, he enjoyed fishing, music, jewelry making, bowling, ceramics, quilting and stained glass. He was truly a jack of all trades. If you had a question or a quandary, he always had an answer and a joke to go with it. He honestly never met a stranger and would talk the leg off of absolutely anyone. Family meant everything to him. Bragging on his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was always a topic of any conversation he had. Going to their activities such as wrestling matches, band performances, softball and basketball games while cheering them on was a highlight in his life. He relished taking all of the kids on fishing, camping and traveling trips. He loved gathering the family together to enjoy the best foods. Some of the favorites included pickles, mini peanut butter cups, chocolate soldiers, meat and cheese trays, fish frys, and smoked meats.

He is survived by his wife, Theresa Lollis; children, Noreena Kay Lollis-Stacey, Bobby Joe Lollis, Jr. and Karen Bushyhead, and Christopher Lee Lollis and Kayla Ann Taylor; grandchildren, Erica Stevenson and Rodger Stealer, CJ Stevenson and Krysta Kirkpatrick, James Lollis and Lexi Meals, Kimberly Lollis and Richard McCauley, Colton Lollis, Emma Lollis and Connor Lollis; great-grandchildren, Kaylee, Jordan, Andrew, Ethan, Shawn, Claire, Nolan, Ellie, Huxley, Holly, Hope, Hudson, and Hunter; and many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother William "Bill" Lollis.

Arrangements and services were entrusted to Johnson Funeral Home, Sperry.
