ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT 

 

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.
