Big Bob is Dead

by Elroy Willis -- August 14, 1999


SHREVEPORT (EAP) -- A local preacher known as "Big Bob" to his congregation and followers died yesterday of heart failure in a Shreveport hospital. He weighed over 1200 lbs when his heart finally gave out and the Lord called him home.

Bob Lawson, 55, was known for his ability to speak with God and fight with the devil. His followers were encouraged to bring him food so that he could have more energy to speak with God and fend off the devil.

"I used to bring Pastor Bob pork chops every Thursday. They were his favorite food, and he said God was happy that I brought them to him, and that I would get a special place in Heaven for bringing them to him," said Louise Ingram, follower of Big Bob for over 10 years.

"Thursdays will be different from now on," Ingram said.
