Members of Council 6478 who have gone to rest.
Eternal Rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls, and all the souls of the faithful departed; through the Mercy of God, Rest in Peace in company with Christ and may they rejoice in your Kingdom. AMEN

Obituary For Ralph "Gene" Hobbs
Gene Hobbs was born August 13, 1937, in Elk City, Oklahoma and passed away on December 27, 2014, at the age of 77, at Mercy Health Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Gene graduated from Elk City High School and a short time thereafter met the love of his life, Patricia Schones. They celebrated their 59 year anniversary on December 26, 2014. Gene was a member of St. John's Parish and Knights of Columbus. He retired from 4 Star Trailers in 2012, after 18 years of service. He thought of his co-workers as family and continued to keep in touch. His most prized possession and greatest joy was his family and we can't forget "Lucky Dog." Gene loved to share a joke and laugh (mark! mark!) Gene was a gifted musician who loved country music especially if it told a story. Gene loved a good story. His tales occasionally grew taller with time but always at his own expense. Gene loved to go on vacation with Carolyn and Frank and on very rare occasions could be coaxed into a casino. Gene was blessed with an appreciation of the simple things in life from a good frozen Forget Me Not to quick trip across the dance floor to just dropping a line in the water and sitting back. Gene never met a catfish he didn't find delicious. Gene was preceded in death by his father, Odis Hobbs, mother, Dorothy Gamble, grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Tosh, and brother Billy Hobbs. He is survived by his wife, Pat, children Rhea Payne and husband Andrew, Kenny Hobbs and wife Lisa, Phil Hobbs and wife Cathy, eight grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren, brother, Gary and wife Earlene Hobbs, and close friend, Tim Adams.
