Robert
‘Bobby’ Michael Shreiner Jr.
Bob was raised in Odessa, where he attended Dowling
Elementary, Bonham Jr. High and graduated from
Permian in 1965.
Robert "Bobby" Michael Shreiner, Jr. passed away in his home
in Frisco, Texas on March 28,
2008. He was 61.
Bob played on the Permian
junior varsity baseball team his sophomore
year. He was also an avid
Mojo football fan and
had season tickets from the early 70’s until
this past year. While battling cancer,
he called family members to ask if they would
take him to the football games. Knowing
he was unable to travel or attend, he created
a plan in order for him to see MOJO play
football.
The last game of this past season, he and his
sister would text message back and forth.
Every time someone scored, he received a text.
His replies were limited to one to three words
(his wife was doing the texting). His sister
spent more time texting him than watching the
game but that was their plan.
I must say, he was
a pretty tough competitor in the MojoLand
fantasy football. His Frisco Wildcats
have made the playoffs every season we
played. I never met him in person,
but we sent several emails to each other over the past five or six years. We spoke a few times on the
telephone, and of course part of the
conversation was about ol' Mojo. He
always seemed to be an up-tempo kind of guy,
looking at the brighter side of things.
He was born in Lancaster, Pa., on October 18,
1946, to Robert Michael Shreiner, Sr. and Angelina
Mary Maloney. He is preceded in death by both
parents.
Bob is survived by his wife (Denise), daughters (Janet Shreiner of Houston, Julie Castle and
husband, Tom of Elk Grove, California, and Jennifer Shreiner of Semi Valley, California)
stepdaughter (Amanda Shreiner of Frisco, Texas),
sister (Michele Shreiner Weber and husband, Bob of
Fort Worth), niece (Deanna Marsh and
husband, Rickey of Springtown, Texas), great
nephew (Dylan Marsh), and three grandchildren ( Lilly,
Gannon, & Holly Castle).
Bob was owner of Fast Find Directories, based
in Frisco, Texas. He was buried at the
Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery, as
he served in the Air Force.
