Bobby was born August 28, 1950, to the late Helen and Raymond Berkstresser. He was preceded in death by siblings Barbara Ponton and Etta and Eddie Berkstresser. He was a member of MarlbrookBaptistChurch. He enjoyed golfing and playing cards with Robert Humphries, David Moore and Jerry Swisher. He enjoyed therapeutic time on his excavating equipment, supporting and spending time with his grandchildren, VT football, and taking pride in his landscaping. He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Sue; three children, Jordan of Lexington, Kevin and his wife Bobbie Lynn of Vesuvius, and Corey and his wife Chastity of Lexington; grandchildren Kamren, Jackson, Cole and Cadrian; siblings Lee (Bonnie) Berkstresser of Lynchburg, and Ray (Linda) Berkstresser of Glasgow; mother-in-law Virginia Vess; numerous nieces and nephews, and many, many friends. Bobby attended DanvilleCommunity College while working at Westinghouse and working part-time for Herb Carwell at Midway Machine. His dream of owning his own business came to life in 1975, when he and his cousin, Dick Cash, opened Auto Parts and Supply in 1975. His golden eye for business continued to prosper with the purchase of Lee Hi Travel Plaza in 1981 and White's TravelCenter in 2010. He began his truck stop business with only eight employees. Over 400 people are employed within those businesses now, and White's is the largest travel center on the East Coast. Bobby served his community well throughout the years, volunteering his time and expertise, as well as supporting local organizations. He never hesitated to give back to the community he grew up in and support local fire departments, charities, schools, Habitat for Humanity, and United Way.
