Bobby was the eighth child born to the late John Martin and Louise (Martin) Smith on January 10, 1941 in Statesboro, Georgia. The youngest of eight, he knew the true meaning of family and cherished his loved ones. He was known for his many acts of kindness and his constant willingness to assist and support his family and friends. Throughout his youth, he enjoyed fishing and sports. Both was his passion. Anyone who knew him knew he was always ready for a day in the fish pond and was forever a dedicated fan of the Dallas Cowboys. After graduating from William James High School in 1959, Bobby joined the United States Army in the year of 1961. While serving his country, he was stationed in Korea, Germany and other countries abroad. He dedicated three years of loyal service to his country.

To this union were four delightful children: Rose, Althea, Bobby Martini, and Arndrea. This devoted husband and loving father enjoyed spending time with and offering advice, often with his legendary humor to his son and daughters. Bobby began his work career with Bulloch Concrete later known as ARGOS Cement and Ready Mix Concrete Company as a Plant Manager. He found this career to be very fulfilling and rewarding.
