Publish in a newspaper
Born March 29, 1949, Bobby Joe was raised in Glouster, Athens County, Ohio. He was the son of the late Glen and Edith McClelland. Bobby Joe worked as a truck driver for 50 years: his most memorable and favorite experience to share was that of his drive from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon.
Proceeded in death by siblings Charles, Jack, Shirley, Howard Paul, and Edna, daughter Angie. Bobby Joe is survived by his wife of 40 years, Patricia McClelland; sons Bob Jr. (Janet), Jim (Nancy), and Mark; stepchildren Buffy, Jack (Tiffany), Joe (Michelle), and Kina; siblings Fred (Barb), Cynthia, Denney, and Toni; multiple grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews; close friends Mike and Sherry, and Ray.
Bobby Joe was an avid collector of vintage toys and memorabilia. He loved the outdoors, especially camping and fishing. He liked gardening, playing euchre, classic western films, and was a Gunsmoke enthusiast. Socializing while enjoying the company of his family over a cold bottle of Budweiser was one of his more favorable pastimes.
