Bobbie G. Wise, 80, of Wichita, Kansas, passed away Monday morning July 23, 2012 at the Meadowlark House in Wichita, Kansas.
Born January 5, 1932 in Udall, Kansas, he was the son of Loren and Esta (Fruits) Wise. He was raised and received his education in the Udall and Winfield area.

He received several service awards including: the National Defense Service Medal; Good Conduct Medal; and the Bronze Service Star. In 1954 he was honorably discharged and returned home to Wichita, where he began working in the oil industry.
