Bobby was born on March 17, 1946, in Port Arthur, Texas to Alda Oliver Glaze and Lonzie Glaze. He graduated from Thomas Jefferson in 1965 and then went into the Marine Corp.

He continued to go to car shows in his later years and had many friends he would see there and continue to be his friends now. Bobby loved his family dearly. He will be missed but not forgotten.
