Robert Walter Talley, Sr.

Robert Walter Talley, Sr., of Honey Grove, Texas, passed away March 17, 2022, at the age of 68.

Robert Walter Talley, Sr. was born on Aug. 9, 1953 in Coppell, Texas, to L.A. and Dorothy Joyce (Bradshaw) Talley. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Robert was a true outdoorsman who loved to coon hunt and fish. He competed on the local and state level in coon hunting competitions. He always enjoyed fishing with his nephew, John Jr. His favorite place to hunt was around Coffee Mill Lake just north of Honey Grove. He often took his son and grandson on coon hunting “adventures” around Coffee Mill Lake. They both have fond memories of chasing coon dogs, cussing at bull nettle and six-strand barbed wire fences, laughing at his endless supply of dirty jokes all night long, and eating breakfast at McKee’s the next morning. Robert also enjoyed watching westerns on TV and was an avid Star Trek fan. However, the thing that Robert enjoyed most was being able to spend time with his grandchildren and great-grandchild. They were his greatest joy. Robert will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Robert is survived by his son, Robert Walter Talley, Jr.; three grandchildren, one great-grandchild; brother, John Talley, Sr.; sisters: Jean Filer and Sarah Gideon; special friends, along with a host of other friends, family and loved ones. Arrangements are under the direction of Miller & Miller Funeral Home.
