Then, as an extension of his trap shooting hobby, he owned and operated Texoma Trap Club in Sherman, Texas until his second retirement. He was preceded in death by his parents, Herman and Juanita Overturf, and his brother, Bill Overturf. Bob is survived by his wife, Mary Overturf of Sherman, Texas; daughters Sheryl Overturf of Dallas, Texas, Marion Overturf and husband Randy Sloan of Denison, Texas, Roxana Robinson of Coppell, Texas; grandsons James Robinson of Coppell, Texas and Jesse Sloan and wife Gena of Denison, Texas.
