Hobert M Bellew (Buffalo)'s Obituary

Bellew of Oklahoma; and many cherished grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, along with a host of close friends and extended family. Hobert dedicated 35 years of his life to his work as a truck driver with SP Milling in California before retiring and moving with Lulu to the area of her birth in Missouri. In retirement, he found deep fulfillment in his church community, where he and Lulu developed close and lasting friendships. Hobert’s love of the outdoors, particularly hunting and fishing, brought him closer to those with whom he shared these passions. Hobert’s warm presence, steadfast faith, and the love he gave to his family and friends will be missed more than words can express. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
