Interment will follow in Oakwood Cemetery. Bobby was born at home in Rosenthal, Texas, to the late James Adolph (Jim) and Victoria (Urban) Soukup. He married Cecilia Schroeder in Tours on November 14, 1964. Bobby was a jack of all trades and a master at all. He was a former cotton ginner in the Golinda-Levi area and O’Donnell. He farmed and had his own trucking business at one time. He was a truck driver at AMPI and later went to work as a heavy equipment operator and truck driver for Pct. 1, McLennan County where he retired in May 2010. He was a natural born truck driver and mechanic. He could fix anything with an engine and drive anything that had wheels. He loved polka music...happy music for happy people. He was preceded in death by his brothers: Henry, Eddie, and Jimmie; sister-in-law, Annette Soukup; and parents-in-law, Frank and Annie Schroeder. Survivors include his wife of 51 years, Cecilia; sons, Robert F. Soukup, of Abilene, and Major Henry Soukup, USMC and wife, Rhiannon, of California; grandson, Colton Joe Soukup; sisters-in-law, Bettie (Soukup) Dudley and husband, Doug, of Sugar Land, and LaDema Soukup, of Corpus Christi; aunt, Lynn Urban, of Waco; plus several nieces and nephews.
