RIP Bob Magruder
Dallas Morning News
January 7, 2015
Robert Olin Magruder Bob to his friends exited the stage
January 2, aged 82. Born in Houston, he graduated University of Houston and
served as an officer in the Navy during the Korean War. After writing for Armed
Forces Radio, Bob established himself in the broadcast realm, as an on-air
announcer, station manager and station owner. Mid-career, he quit the corporate
world for full time acting and freelance voice announcing. He performed in
feature films, national television, commercials, industrial films and was the
long time narrator for the syndicated TV series "Cheaters." He also
starred in a number of local theatre productions including the Alley Theatre in
Houston, and locally, Dallas Repertory Theatre and Theatre Three. Bob was
generous, funny, creative, loving and working right up to his last, brief
illness - because it was more fun than sitting around in retirement. He is
survived by his wife of 60 years, Patsy; sister Verneita; brother-in-law
Chalong; children Larry, Melonie and Cathleen; daughter-in-law Diane;
grandchildren Robert, Christian, Tiffany, Chantilly, Dutch, Amanda and Diego;
and friends and colleagues too numerous to mention. A Celebration of his Life
is pending.
