Bob Williams

About me

Bob here! March 1st I celebrated 56 years with State Farm. I'm a proud alumni of Owensboro High School. During my time at OHS, I was a part of the State Championship winning team in '64. My late wife Debbie and I are both alumni of Kentucky Wesleyan College, and I graduated in '69. My love of baseball turned into 20 years of youth coaching with little league and Babe Ruth, and taking a team to the 15 year old Babe Championship in '84. I even was home team PA Announcer for KWC Panther's baseball for many years.

You can often find me cheering on the Owensboro High School teams, especially at golf, basketball, and baseball events. ! I sponsor the Debbie Williams Memorial Scholarship, as well as community outreach with Friends of Sinners, St. Benedicts Homeless Shelter, Good News Jail & Prison Ministry, Right to Life, and Gideons.

I'm thankful to be called Dad and Grandad, and I enjoy supporting my family across KY in their endeavors. From OHS academics and sports, Ballard High Lacrosse in Louisville, Owensboro Southern Little League, and even UK, I'm rooting for my grandkids!

I've proudly been serving our city of Owensboro and our beautiful Kentucky communities with State Farm since 1970. M y daughter, Jennifer Rickard, is my office manager and has been with me for over 30 years. Our specialty is stellar customer service. We’re excited to take care of you and your family for years to come! We serve all of the state of Kentucky, not just our home county, Daviess, or neighbors in Ohio, Breckenridge, Grayson, McLean, Muhlenberg, Henderson, Butler, or Hancock County. Contact me and my team to work together to secure your future. We're ready to start a conversation about your auto, home, and life insurance needs and get you a no obligation quote.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I get car insurance quotes?

A: Getting car insurance quotes is simple—you can start online, over the phone, or by working with a local agent. Quotes are typically based on factors like your vehicle, driving history, and coverage preferences, helping you explore options that fit your needs. Bob, your local State Farm agent in Owensboro, KY, is here to help.

Q: How fast can I get car insurance?

A: Car insurance coverage can often start the same day, depending on your situation. Have questions? Bob in Owensboro can walk you through your options.

Q: What are the insurance requirements on a leased car?

A: Leased cars typically require liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage, and the leasing company may need to be listed on your policy. Bob works with Owensboro residents to find coverage that fits.

Q: How would you explain renters insurance?

A: Renters insurance is a policy designed to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting a home or apartment. It focuses on your possessions and potential risks, rather than the building itself, which is typically covered by your landlord's policy. Connect with Bob for insurance guidance in Owensboro.

Q: Do you have to have home insurance?

A: Whether homeowners insurance is required depends on your situation and may vary by state. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require it. Even if it's not required, many people choose to have coverage to help protect their home and everything that comes with it. In Owensboro, you can count on Bob for personalized service.

Q: How does life insurance work?

A: Life insurance provides a payout to your chosen beneficiaries if you pass away while the policy is active. As long as coverage remains active, it can help give your loved ones financial support when they may need it most. Bob is here to help your Owensboro household feel covered.
