Robert Lee Mccullough

Mr. Robert Lee McCullough (Bobby) entered eternal rest on Tuesday, December 15, 2020, at Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC. He was born on June 14, 1935, to the late John Adam McCullough and Annie Mae Blake McCullough. He had two brothers, Johnny McCullough and Charles McCullough; and a son-in-law, Author Lowery, who preceded him in death. Robert graduated in the class of 1955 from West Charlotte High School, where he played football, and the team was the first to win the state championship in 1954. After graduating, he moved to New York, NY, then to Philadelphia, PA, and from there back to Charlotte. Upon returning to Charlotte, he met the love of his life and was married to her for over 60 years, a match made in Heaven. He worked for many years at Sanders Company, retired, and returned to work at Chemical Specialties Inc. for another 30 years. Robert was a faithful member of Ebenezer Baptist Church and a devoted member of the West Charlotte and Second Ward Alumni Breakfast Club. Robert loved to travel and visit with family and friends. The support he provided was impeccable—if anyone needed assistance he was there. He was a true partner to his wife, best father to his daughter, Superhero, but did not wear a cape, to his grandchildren, and uncle/daddy to his nieces and nephews. A true servant of God.
