Bobby Ray Polasek, Sr., age 73, passed away on March 14, 2026 in Terrell, Texas. He was born on September 26, 1952 in Fresno, California to Hazel (Alford) and John Victor Polasek.
Bobby Ray was a beloved husband, dad, and Grandpa. His proud achievements and acknowledgments were being in the US Army and Texas National Guard. Afterwards Bob held many positions, including Carpenter, General Contractor, and Funeral Director. He was also known as the neighborhood lawnmower repairman.
Bob had a strong sense of humor and was famous for Dad jokes. He was best described as being the go-to guy to fix anything. He was always showing up for everyone and was also known for finding a bargain. In his retirement years, he enjoyed ocean cruising with his wife and family and piddling around on his John Deere tractor.
