Robert Marden Kral, known to all as Bob, passed away at his home in Corsicana on December 6, 2024 from complications of congestive heart failure. Bob was born June 17, 1929 in Sweetwater, Texas. The youngest of 11 children, he grew up on the family farm near Longworth in Fisher County. A graduate of Sweetwater High School, he attended Texas Tech where he earned a degree in agronomy and met the love of his life, Willa Faris. In 1953, he was activated into the Air Force at Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, where he served as a First Lieutenant. In 1954, he married Willa. After his discharge from the Air Force in 1955, he joined the Soil Conservation Service, where he spent most of his career, serving in Littlefield, Crosbyton, Lamesa, and Corsicana.
