Clyde R. “Bob” Hensley was born January 20, 1941 in Ancon, Panama Canal Zone to Clyde W. And Mildred C. Hensley. He passed away at his home on July 8, 2018.

Bob’s family moved to Crocker, Missouri where he graduated high school. After high school, he enlisted and served in the United States Army for three years in Korea. After returning home, Bob attended college at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. He was soon united in marriage to Marilyn J. Harrison (June) on March 2, 1963. After school, Bob worked for Cities Service Gas Company. They moved frequently with the company including various places in Kansas and Oklahoma. Bob retired from The Williams Companies as Manager of Gas Control in 1995. Soon after, Bob and June took up traveling the western part of North America in their R.V. After ten years on the road they made their roots in Norman, Oklahoma.

Ever the adventurer, Bob became active in the Oklahoma film industry, and appeared in several independent films. Most notably, he portrayed the villainous Oralio in the 2006 film Rune. Bob’s convincing performance of this menacing character was a testament to his acting ability, as he was the kindest person one would ever hope to meet.
