Wilburn Ray Robertson. 87, Hurley, Missouri was born March 9, 1926 in
Taney County, Missouri to Henry and Susie Jenkins Robertson and departed this
life April 2, 2013 in his home.
Ray farmed, milked cows, put up hay and in later years started raising
beef cattle before he retired. He was known for his carpentry skill and the
gardens he had where he always had plenty to
share.
Papaw as all grandkids and great grandkids called him, loved to go
fishing, near or far there was always a lure to tie, pole to cast and more often
than not a fish on the other end. The most memorable fishing trips were to South
Dakota and Canada every year, they always brought back a freezer full of fish.

Jenkins Robertson Brewer and stepfather, Bill Brewer; a daughter, Linda; four sisters, Anna, Pearl Pansy and

of Willard, Missouri; eight great grandchildren, Jacob and Madison Hicks, Morgan
and Koby Essary, Sierra and Bailey Flood, Dylan and Ashlee Robertson;
