Robert "Bob" Scott McInnis

Robert “Bob” Scott McInnis, a man of unwavering integrity and deep devotion to his family and country, entered into heaven on April 16, 2026.

Bob was born on November 10, 1948, in Mobile, Alabama, to the late Robert Polk and Claudine Brinson McInnis. He spent his early years in Mobile before moving to Warner Robins, Georgia, at the age of 16. It was there that his life truly took shape. While attending Warner Robins High School, he met the love of his life, Lucy—a love story that would span nearly 57 beautiful years. He graduated with the Class of 1967, beginning a lifetime marked by dedication, service, and quiet strength.

Shortly after graduation, Bob answered the call to serve his country by joining the United States Army, where he served honorably for five years, including during the Vietnam War in Okinawa. His commitment to service did not end there; he continued his military career with the Air National Guard, ultimately retiring after 20 years of faithful service.

Bob also pursued higher education with determination, earning both his Bachelor’s degree in Business and his Master’s degree in Logistics from Georgia College in Milledgeville. He carried that knowledge into a distinguished civil service career at Robins Air Force Base, where he worked as a Program Manager. During his tenure, he had the honor of contributing to critical and historic projects, including work on Air Force One and AMRAAM systems for Marine One—efforts that reflected both his expertise and his deep sense of responsibility.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Bob was known for his joyful spirit and kind heart. He loved photography, traveling, and, above all, spending time with his beloved grandchildren. He was a happy, fun-loving man who treated everyone he met with warmth and respect. His character was defined by integrity, humility, and a genuine care for others.

A devoted man of faith, Bob was a longtime member of Shirley Hills Baptist Church, where he and Lucy were married many years ago. He faithfully served his church community, including a time as Sunday School Director, and was an active member of the Betty Haseldon Sunday School Class. He also enjoyed fellowship with friends as part of the “Old Crows” group on base.

In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his sister, Cheryl Peace; sisters-in-law, Annie McInnis and Carla Ferria; and brothers-in-law, George Runyon and Louie Ferria.

His memory will forever be treasured by his wife, Lucy McInnis; children, Robert Scott McInnis, Jr. (Heather) of Newnan, Georgia, and James Patrick McInnis (Catherine Mays) of Kathleen, Georgia; grandchildren, Taylor Adams (Connor) Amelia McInnis, Rory McInnis, Noah McInnis, Lucy McInnis, Penny McInnis, and Olive McInnis; great-granddaughter, Georgia Grace Adams; siblings, Bill McInnis (Sandra), Ricky McInnis, and Brent McInnis; brother-in-law, Carl Runyon (Phyllis); sisters-in-law, Denise Runyon and Elaine Hardison (Mark); and numerous nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be Monday, April 20, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. at McCullough Funeral Home with a funeral service immediately following in the chapel. Afterward, Bob will be laid to rest in Magnolia Park Cemetery with military honors.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully suggests memorial donations be given in memory of Bob McInnis to Shirley Hills Baptist Church Building Fund.

For friends unable to attend at this time, the service will be streamed live at https://www.youtube.com/@McCulloughFuneralHome via the McCullough Funeral Home’s YouTube page.
