Bobby’s father abandoned the family when he was about five years old. Following that, the children were reared in a trailer near Mountain Pine by their single mother.
They were forced to rely completely on welfare checks and food stamps. When his mother’s supply ran out, she would turn to stealing.
His mother was likewise hooked on alcohol and drugs; therefore, she was not present most of the time. Perhaps as a result, he was formally adopted by his grandmother, Hazel Hurt, and reared by her for some time. Bobby was in his teens when she died.
