The son of the late Harry William and Minnie Parker Blaine, he grew up in the north Georgia mountains. Bob retired from NAPA Auto Parts, starting in counter sales and working his way up the ladder to become a top sales manager, winning many company awards and accolades along the way. His career took him from Atlanta to High Point, NC, and then back to Atlanta. After retirement, Bob and Amyee moved to Ashburn, her home town, and made it their home. He put his family first, always willing to lend a hand when asked.
