Robert Elton Quinney, 76, passed away on June 13, 2017 at home in Stockdale, Texas. He was born on March 16, 1941 in Floresville, Texas to Steve Quinney and Johnie Dixon Quinney. He attended Stockdale High School and then served in the United States Army stationed in Germany, from 1964-1966. On July 10, 1965, he married Joyce Robbins. He worked for Braniff Airline for 11 years, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for 8 years, but his favorite job by far was working in the oil field for 35 years. Papa (as his grandkids called him) loved to play dominos, hunt, fish, and tell stories. Some of his favorite moments were fishing the Guadalupe River with his son, Lonnie and grandson, Taylor. He was loved by all who met him. He never met a stranger and will be greatly missed. Robert is preceded in death by his daughter, Karen Denise Quinney; his parents; brothers, William and Benny Ray; and sister, Anna Adams. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Joyce Quinney; son, Lonnie Quinney (Phyllis); grandchildren, Taylor Quinney (Ashlynn) and Kasey Correll (Michael); brother, Marvin Quinney (Alene); sister-in-law, Johnnie Quinney; and a host of nieces, nephews and other loving family and friends.
