Bobby N. Hendrix, Sr.

Bobby N. Hendrix, Sr. of Monroe, Louisiana, was born on October 26, 1932, in Mangham, LA. He passed away March 29, 2017. He was a most loving husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. Visitation will be from 4:00 to 7:00 PM on March 31, 2017, at Mulhearn Funeral Home in Monroe.
Bobby was a well-known home builder and remodeler since the 1960’s. A member of the Northeast La. Home Builders since 1968, Bobby served in all officer capacities on a local and state level.

Bobby also built one of the first St. Jude Dream Homes. Bobby was a perfectionist when it came to home building. His employees and children knew to… “do the job, do it right, or you’re fired!”
Bobby also played on the 1951 LSU football team.
He had an extreme love for his family and cherished visits and calls from his siblings, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends. Afternoon visits to Russell Moore Lumber and solving the world’s problems with his friend Robert Moore was the highlight of each day. He will be greatly missed and always remembered in our hearts and minds as the sweet, honest, kind, and loving Bobby Hendrix! His profound love for animals was demonstrated by the peanut bar he gave to Blaze and Gracie, his faithful four-legged companions, after lunch each day.
