Robert Boyd Bogle III-Born October 9, 1934 to Emma Elizabeth Greene Bogle and Dr. Robert Boyd Bogle, Jr. in Nashville, TN. He passed away at home with family at his side, after a short courageous battle with cancer. He was educated at Woodmont Grammar School, Hillsboro High School and graduated from Montgomery Bell Academy. While in high school, he began dating June Greer and continued their courtship throughout high school and college. He attended Georgia Institute of Technology where he received his degree in Architecture.

He was licensed in most of the southern states as well as designing the employee living quarters for King Fayed Hospital in Saudi Arabia. Their partnership practiced until 1998 after which he had his own firm. In his semi-retirement years, he did design work at John Coleman Hayes Contractors.

One of the highlights of his last years was to be elected a commissioner in the city of Belle Meade. With his expertise and knowledge of how to further projects, he was a valuable member of the commission and loved being a part of it.

Throughout his life he and June loved to travel. In 1986 they spent a month going around the world on their own. After visiting many countries, in the later years they settled on Italy as their favorite and would spend several weeks there during spring or fall. They had many trips with their family, especially enjoying Christmases in the Caribbean.
