A Message To All SSA And DDS Employees

Subject: Robert (Bob) Bynum

I am sad to report the passing of Bob Bynum on October 16, 2010, at the age of 89. Bob began his 32-year career in 1948 as a Field Assistant in Montgomery, Alabama and retired in 1980 as the Deputy Commissioner for Programs. Bob also served as the first District Manager in Selma, Alabama, the Associate Commissioner for Program Operations, and the Regional Commissioner for Atlanta. After retirement, Bob continued to serve through volunteer work.

To learn more about his legacy, see the transcript of a 1996 interview by visiting http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history/orals/bynum.html. An obituary is available at http://obits.al.com/obituaries/birmingham/obituary.aspx?n=robert-paul-bynum-bob&pid=146070218.
