Robert (Bob)
Etheredge Jr.

(1926–2021)

Etheredge was born in Raleigh NC and raised in Spring Hill. He was a Navy and Air Force veteran. He trained as an architect. His career brought him to Lima, Peru, where he lived with his first wife and three children for seven years. In 1971, while working in Cali, Colombia, he met his second wife, Judy. He starred in the low-budget western The Kid and the Killers. Etheredge and Judy moved to Madrid, Spain, where their two sons were born. They returned to the US in 1978, and his work as a consultant for the World Bank in international development allowed him to travel the globe for many years. He was partners in the firm Edwards McKimmon Etheredge with Jimmy Edwards and Arthur McKimmon.
