Obituary
Robert Carle Patterson, 69
A memorial service for Robert Carle Patterson, 69, of Tulsa, Okla., will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013, at Lilly Ridge Baptist Church. Mr. Patterson died Oct. 10 at St. John's Hospital in Tulsa.
He was born Jan. 27, 1944, in Brockton, Mass., the oldest of three sons born to Loren Carle "Pat" Patterson and Marjorie Eleanor Stoddard Patterson. After graduating from Parkview High School in Springfield, he joined the Marine Corps and was stationed at Twenty-nine Palms, Calif. After his discharge, he returned to Springfield, where he met Louise Hambelton. They were married Dec. 31, 1968, and had two daughters.
Mr. Patterson graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1974 with a bachelor's degree in business, received his CPA license in 1975 and then earned his master's degree in accounting from University of Tulsa in 1981. The family moved to Tulsa in 1975 when he took a job as a CPA for Williams International Group. He later worked for the US Department of Energy and the US Geological Survey. In 1983, he accepted a teaching job at Tulsa Junior College, where he taught until 2000. In 2001 he returned to TJC and taught classes until the day of his death.
Mr. Patterson considered his family as his proudest accomplishment, but he also took pride in serving more than 40 years as a Mason and in completing the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii and competing in power-lifting competitions until 2012.
He is survived by his daughters: Sherri Beasley and husband Jerry of Gainesville and Deanna Patterson, all of Gainesville; granddaughter Haley Beasley of Gainesville; brothers Paul Patterson and wife Diann of Kansas and Steve Patterson and wife Cathy of Colorado; "adopted brothers" Bill and Ronnie Deck of Springfield; former wife, Louise Patterson and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his aunt Ola Horne and by dear friend Laveda McDaniel Pennington.
Memorial contributions may be made to the family as love offering and left at Clinkingbeard Funeral Home.
