Robert James "Bob" Guillory
July 29, 1943 — February 16, 2016
Mr. Robert James “Bob” Guillory, 72, of Richmond, TX died peacefully Feb. 16, 2016.
Bob was born July 29, 1943 in the country about 4 miles south of Welsh, LA. He graduated from Welsh, LA High School. He completed an Associate degree in Science. He also has a Bachelor degree from Our Lady of the Lake University, San Antonio, TX. His work took him to Mississippi, Louisiana, California and Texas. He retired as a Professional Engineer specializing in instrumentation working in Houston TX.
He proudly served his country in the US Air Force for four years. After completing a very technical eleven-month Air Force course in electronics technology, he worked as an “on-board missile analyst” for the “Hound Dog” missile carried by the huge long-range nuclear capable B-52 bombers at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. He still keeps in touch with his military buddies after all these years.
He is survived by his loving wife of 29 years, Jeanne Slaughter Swan Guillory of Richmond TX; one son Kevin Guillory of Kinder, LA and one daughter Angela Guillory Cormier and husband Mac of Sulphur, LA; two grandchildren, Katharine Guillory of Vinton, LA and Michael Guillory of Lake Charles, LA; and one great-grandchild. He is also survived by two step children, Eric Swan (wife Lisa) of Pearland, TX and Julie Swan Goodwin (husband Robert); two step-grandchildren, Madeline and Justin Goodwin of Richmond, TX.
He is also survived by three brothers, Charles Guillory (wife Vena), Wilmer Dean Guillory (wife Phoebe) both of Lake Charles, LA and Wilton Guillory (wife Louise) of New Iberia, LA; one sister, Evelyn Guillory Schopen (deceased husband Don) of Lake Charles, LA.
He was preceded in death by the mother of his children, Juanita Ann Pitre Guillory; his parents, Floureman “Jack” Guillory and Ruby Beatrice Derouen Guillory; one brother, Huland J. Guillory.
Bob came from a very humble background. He had a “can do” attitude. He worked hard, studied hard, and was very successful in his field. He was a Senior Life Member of the Instrument Society of America. He constantly encouraged young people to work hard and study hard and to put an emphasis on their education. He was a strong advocate for individuals to further their education. He mentored students online through a website to help them find a way to complete their education. He was a very honorable man, a good husband and father, a good family man, a practicing Catholic and was always willing to help others.
Travel was one of Bob’s passions. He and Jeanne traveled the world and loved to take cruises. They took fifteen cruises, toured England twice and love “all inclusives” in the carribean. He also loved British Columbia.
Johnson Funeral Home of Lake Charles, LA is in charge of arrangements.
Visitation will be held March 12, 2016 from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. followed by a memorial service at 3:30 at the funeral home. His cremated remains will then be buried in the Lacassine , LA cemetery.
