Bob was born on 4:15 PM at a medical arts building in Fort Worth, Texas, and raised in Sylacauga, Alabama. He was the only child of Robert Franklin "Bobby" Chandler Sr. (8 February 1906 – 27 December 1977), an Alabamian insurance agent, and Jean Hollomon (28 March 1906 – 10 May 1945), a Texan housewife. Bob has eight younger half-siblings on his fa...
Previous family
Bob was previously married to a woman named Patricia Harley on 25 September 1956 at a United Methodist church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. They had two children, David Alan Chandler (b. 1961) and Carol Suzanne Chandler(b. 1964). Bob and Patricia separated on 28 June 1976 before divorcing on 28 January 1980. Bob's relationships with David and Carol were strained in his later years. Because of this, Chris did not know he had a niece via David, named Savannah, until she was 8 years old, and...
Barbara
Bob and Barbara met in 1979 at "Maddy's Pub" in Richmond (probably Matt's British Pub in Shockoe Slip, where Bob was a sing-along leader in the late 1970s). Barbara was there with a friend and Bob was singing. According to Chris, Bob claimed that Barbara did the pursuing: "She chased him down the hallway," though Barb has disputed this. This version of events may be why Chris figured that he could get away with being passive in terms of courtship. In contrast, Cole's friend Chuck McGuigan, wh...
Cole
Bob married Barbara when her son Colewas nearly 17, around the time Cole left to lead his own life. Cole feels that Bob's bitterness ruined the relationship between himself and his mother. Cole said he would celebrate "...when that fuck Bob finally drops," but it is unknown if he did so. Cole said that he and Bob shared a mutual hatred,though there isn't any proof that Bob hated Cole. At the least, it is certain that Bob knew Cole didn't like him.
Bob lived on Social Security as well as his General Electric pension. He never really had people to chat with at home (he would ramble to total strangers on the phone if he could), so he sat around, listened to music, and took care of the garden inside the greenhouse.With a 1970s stereo system set up in the greenhouse, he went to 'swing with the mu...
Despite the fairly clear-cut nature of the lumberjack's passing, Chris has since declared that the trolls were responsible for Bob's death. In an email leaked on 22 March 2014, Chris claimed that the stress of his trolling led to Bob's heart attack. This keeps in the trend Chris has developed of blaming any and all misfortunes (even those faced by ...
Both Barband Chris collaborated in writing Bob's obituary, which was published in two local papers. Main points of the obituary, apart from the standard birth date, date of death, and next of kin, include: 1. Text going into unusual detailabout what Bob did at General Electric. 2. The location of the memorial service, "to follow on a later date", a...
Bob is often seen as a gregarious, hard-working man (all things considered) who tried (albeit without success) his best to refine Chris into someone that could at least pass for a responsible adult, giving him mock job interviews and chaperoning him on dates, where he proved (unsurprisingly) more adept at charming the date than Chris, but stopped a...
Idea Guy influences
During the Idea Guys saga, Chris' belief in multiple dimensions was exploited and his sense of reality hijacked to make changes to many of Chris' characters, concepts and perspectives of the real world, with him considering them to be valid. Perhaps one of the more heinous examples of this was the Idea Guys' manipulation of Chris' views on his own father; views which Chris has yet to abandon, despite the Idea Guys being removed from power by the Guard Dogsin mid-2018. Ideas involving Bob incl...
In Sonichu
In "Spring Break, 2008", a radio announcement from Jamsta Sonichu mentions that Bob founded CWCville in 1982, presumably after Chris' birth on 24 Februarygiven that Bob named the city after his newborn son. Comic Bob presumably served as mayor before Chris took the office at an unknown date. At other points, Bob was mentioned in Chris' tangents about hating men other than himself and his father. In "Date Ed", there are two dolls for the class to practice talking to, girls received "Robert" do...
