After graduating from Delhi High School, TW farmed in Beckham County, Oklahoma, before attending Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and received a technical degree in heating and air conditioning, and immediately went to work for Sears, Roebuck and Company in Lawton, Oklahoma. TW married Helen Marie Miller of Springdale, Arkansas, on April 6, 1959. In 1970, TW contracted glaucoma which resulted in permanent total blindness. Always resourceful, he built cages and began a business of raising parakeets for the retail pet market. TW committed his life to Christ at an early age and dedicated his life to serving the Lord. He freely gave of his resources in the furtherance of the Gospel by giving faithfully to missionaries serving around the world, and by establishing the TW Hobbs Scholarship to support missions-minded students at Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, Texas. He was an active member of Sayre First Assembly for many years.
