Mr. Bobby "Bob" James Traywick, 82 of Oak Island, NC and formerly of Marshville passed away Wednesday, July 24, 2019. Born June 15, 1937 in Union County, he was the son of the late Le Roy and Ethel Griffin Traywick. He was an Air Force veteran and retired after 45 years with Western Electric and Bell Systems.

He also enjoyed living at the coast where he and his special furry companion, Jake, took long walks on the beach. No matter his circumstances, he always had a smile on his face.
A funeral service to celebrate the life of Bob will be 2 PM Saturday from the Chapel of Morgan & Son Funeral Home with burial to follow in the Marshville City Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Saturday one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
