He was born on November 28, 1927, in Mount Airy, NC to the late Grady Marshall Nichols and Myrtle Fulk Nichols. Bobby was a loving husband, father, and friend who was selfless in giving of his time. His greatest joy was providing for the needs of his family. All he desired in life was for his family to be healthy and happy. Those closest to him knew that his second greatest love in life was “good food,” especially from K&W. Bobby worked most of his life, beginning with his father on the farm and later in Nichols’ Shoe Shop of Pilot Mountain. In the early years of his career, he was an electrical apprentice and later worked with his father at G.M. Nichols & Son Plumbing, which he continued until recent years. He was proud to have served in the United States Army in the latter part of WWII. Bobby was highly regarded in the community and the oldest merchant in town. He was also the oldest living charter member of Friendly Chapel Church.
