Mr. Mills was born May 5, 1933 in Leakesville, Mississippi and passed away July 1, 2020 in Leesville, Louisiana at the age of 87. He served in the U.S. Army for 30 years. During that time, he served two tours in Vietnam. Bob was an avid hunter, and in his earlier years he enjoyed fishing as well.

daughters, Marion Bordelon and husband Mark of Lake Charles, LA and Martina Partin and husband Ronney of Lake Charles, LA,
sister, Arva Schuler of Leakesville, MS,
a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, nephews, and nieces,
