MEMORIAL IN MEMORIAM: ROBERT R. HAGGARD III On June 25, 2013, Robert Roy Haggard III (Bob) valiantly departed this life after a brief battle with a brain tumor. He was 52 years old. Knowing only a life filled with love, laughter, giving and friendships, Bob passed away knowing and even telling his family, “if it’s not all right, it will be all right.” Bob was born on Oct. 15, 1960, in Savannah, Tenn., to Betty Jean and Robert Roy Haggard Jr. He was preceded in death by his parents, Roy Haggard and Ralph M. and Betty Jean Hughes. A resident of Waynesboro his entire life, Bob attended Columbia State Community College, the University of Tennessee at Martin and graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 1983. Upon graduating with a Business/Political Science major, Bob joined the Disney Corporation where he was known as “Greeter Bob” due to his infectious smile. For approximately one year, Bob enjoyed the excitement of all that the Disney properties had to offer before finally joining the staff of Hassell and Hughes Lumber Company in Collinwood, Tenn., where he remained loyal to high ideals and business principles until his death. Bob met and married the love of his life, Kim Appleton Haggard, on June 29, 1991. Bob was a devoted member and elder at the Waynesboro Church of Christ. Bob was a member of several organizations through Hassell and Hughes Lumber Company, but he was specifically instrumental in managing flooring companies all over the world through NOFMA, National Oak Flooring Manufacturing Association. Bob took pride in his community and participated in any and all activities to better Wayne County. Memorial donations may be made to “The Butterfly Foundation” or the “Here Am I, Send Me” foundation through the Waynesboro Church of Christ. Donations for both can be made to P.O.
