Robert Daniel Housley, a true pillar of society, family man, founder and owner of Housley Communications, left to be with the Lord Tuesday, December 15th peacefully in his home.
Bob was born August 21, 1939 in Carlisle, Arkansas to Harold and Nettie Housley. The second of six children, he devoted himself to the family rice and soybean farm as well as his Valley View State Championship Basketball team. Bob went on to acquire his pilot’s license at the ripe age of 17, which would prove to be a lifelong passion he would continue into his eighties.
He served in the National Guard during the 1957 Integration Crisis at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, aiding in the protection of the first integrated students in the United States.
