Bobby was born on August 3, 1946, to the late C.E. and Luvenia Twiner. After graduating from Ruleville High School he attended MS Delta Community College.

He worked at Baxter in Cleveland for 20 years and went on to work for the MS Department of Corrections where he retired in 2010. Coaching girl's softball was one of his favorite pastimes. He touched the lives of all his players throughout the years. He was an integral part in starting the first softball team at Cleveland High School where he was an assistant to the great Coach Sank Powe.
Bobby dearly loved his family, his pets and the University of Alabama Crimson Tide. He returned to College later in life where he graduated from Delta State University in 1981 with a BS in Social Studies.
