Robert was born on April 26, 1945, in Vicksburg to Robert E. Redditt, Jr. and Ruth P. Redditt. Robert married his wife Linda on June 21, 1963. Robert was a lover of life and assisting others. Throughout a 40 year plus career at Yazoo Vally EPA he touched hundreds of lives and never once hesitated to be there in others time of need. A pillar of the community that he was always eager to give you the shirt off his back as he wore it. He loved to hunt, fish, garden, and fellowship with tractor club members. If we didn't know better, we would swear his blood was John Deere green and Ford, John Deere, and Coveralls were the models all others were measured up against. He had a smile that would lighten Oakridge when his grandchildren and great grandchildren arrived for a visit. He was a man that instilled quality, perfection, commitment and love. He is preceded in death by his parents Robert E. Redditt, Jr. and Ruth P. Redditt and a brother Edward Morrell Redditt, Sr.
