| 434 | Obituary: Bobby Dale McNew, 70 of Navasota, went to rest and joined his loving wife on October 4th 2020. A memorial service in celebration of his life will be held at 10:00 am, Saturday, October 10th at Nobles Funeral Chapel with the Rev. John Montgomery officiating. Born May 5th, 1950, in Big Spring, Texas, he was one of 10 children raised on the farm where they raised cotton, cattle, and hogs. He was the father of two sons, Thomas McNew and Michael McNew. He was also a proud grandfather to Brent McNew. He learned how to work hard for a living. He held various jobs from the Motorola Company in Chicago, Illinois, to a feed store in Texas. When he was just 16 years of age, he joined his older brothers, Rex and Billy in the seismic field. He was rapidly promoted to Junior Observer for Western Geophysical. During his time there, he decided that he didn't much like working in the mud and mosquitoes so he quit and moved to Navasota where he met and married Georgia Faye Shine. His first real job in Navasota was working for Alfred Glassell, Jr. as a ranch manager and remained as the manager for over 35 years. During his time on the ranch he became a Grimes County Justice of the Peace for Precincts 3 & 4 where he presided over municipal court until his retirement. During all these years he made friends with the love of his life. Ranching for the both of them was hard. It was something straight out of the movies; a girl from the city meets the boy from the farm. The work hours were long and there was little time to spare, but Bobby was always willing to lend a hand in the community. He served his community as Justice of the Peace with honor and integrity during his capacity. This was so fulfilling to him; the satisfaction and reward was overwhelming. To this day people in the community always call him Judge Bobby or Judge McNew or just plain Judge. Retirement didn't suit him, and he went back to work again with Western Geophysical and became Party Manager until their closure. Bobby then formed a landman company and held this until his passing. He was able to see the United States while working for a number of years until he decided to fully retire in 2017 and began to travel for leisure. He was a fun seeker in every which way imaginable - seeing several countries and U.S. destinations some of us have only seen in photos. His best friend was his grandson Brent and he would always place a bet that he knew he couldn't win but would still place each time to see who caught the biggest fish - always losing. He had a trip planned to go skiing in Colorado just next week but that was cut short due to complications with his Aortic Aneurysm causing his death. Bobby was preceded in death by his loving wife Georgia Faye Shine McNew; parents R.X. McNew and Lillie Ruth McNew; brothers Billy McNew, James (Roy) McNew, and Rexie McNew and sister Jean Crowder. He is survived by his two sons and daughters-in-law, Thomas and Jennifer McNew of San Antonio and Michael McNew of Edinburg and his only grandson, Brent Michael McNew; sisters and brothers-in-law Joy & Robert Howland of Coahoma, Carolyn & Jimmy Rogers of Big Spring, Sharon & Bob Husson of Garland, Barbara and Danny Clark of Coahoma, and sister-in-law Patsy McNew of Athens as well as many other nieces, nephews, and loved family members and friends.

| 447 | Obituary: BOSSIER CITY, LA - A memorial celebrating the life of Scott Pine will be held Saturday, May 31, 1:30pm at Airline Baptist Church, 4007 Airline Drive, Bossier City. Scott, 34, was an Orange County, Florida Deputy Sheriff. He was born July 12, 1979 in Shreveport, Louisiana and graduated from Airline High School in 1997. He attended Louisiana Tech where he received his MBA. While there, he met and fell in love with Bridget Roseboom. A short time later they moved to the Orlando area. The couple soon married and, over the years, God blessed them with three beautiful children. After 8 years working in the banking industry, Scott, a man of deep faith, felt called to serve in law enforcement. He joined the Orange County Sheriff's Office in May of 2011 as a Deputy Sheriff on the midnight shift. When not at work, he was often in the park playing with his children or teaching Haley to ride her bike, all of which would be quickly posted to Facebook. He loved to travel and camp with his family. He enjoyed playing games, wrestling, reading, and nighttime prayers with his children. Scott was an avid LSU fan and was dedicated to God, family, friends and co-workers. He worked tirelessly to protect and serve the citizens of Orange County. He epitomized the inscription on his patrol vehicle, "Making A Difference". On February 11, 2014, Deputy Scott Pine was shot and killed while investigating reports of multiple car burglaries. He served his community with honor and dignity. Left to cherish his memory is his beloved wife, Bridget Pine, children, Haley, Ryker and Maddox Pine; mother, Donna Pine Robinson and husband, Dr. James Robinson of Bossier City, LA; father, Robert Pine and wife, Terry of Oklahoma; grandmother, Dolores Gibbs; sister, Angela Mills and husband, Chad; sister, Lori Lucas; brother, Charlie Pine; sister-in-law, Denise Purdy and husband, Tyler; brother-in-law, Jeremy Roseboom and wife, Stephanie; mother-in-law, Frances Taylor and husband, Johnny; father-in-law, Jeff Roseboom and wife, Mary; nieces and nephews, Hayden and Parker Mills, Seth Pine, Josie, Zoe and Layla Roseboom and Ethan and Eli Purdy and many other family members. Because of Scott's love for all things LSU, we are encouraging memorial attendees to wear their LSU gear or purple and gold to celebrate the life of our hero. In memory of Deputy Scott Pine, we ask you to thank a law enforcement officer. When they put on their badge and walk out the door, there is no guarantee they will return home to their family.
