Robert Eugene Briggs of Taloga, Oklahoma, passed away July 29, 2014 at the age of 64. He was born May 4, 1950 in Clinton, Oklahoma, and grew up on his family’s farm in the Aledo community; Bob is a graduate of Leedey High School, Southwestern Oklahoma State and Sooner Trade School. He studied air conditioning and worked for four years in Woodward, Oklahoma. Bob began farming in 1988 when he moved to Taloga, where his first crop of wheat is regarded as his best. Bob was an avid hunter and fisherman. He rarely missed an event within his large family, unless of course, it interfered with his pitch game on Thursdays and Saturdays. On those days, he could be found at the senior center playing cards.
