Statesboro's Robert Tanner reflects on 55 years of community and real estate
For 55 years, Robert Beverly Tanner has been more than a real estate professional. He has been a familiar face, a trusted friend, a mentor, and a proud Statesboro native whose life has been shaped by the relationships and a community he treasures. Born April 1, 1943, in Statesboro, Georgia, to Beb and Maddie Tanner, Robert was their only child despite coming from large loving families: his father was one of nine siblings, and his mother was one of 18 children. Growing up in a close-knit community, Robert learned early the value of friendships, family, and the simple joy of knowing your neighbors. As a young boy, his greatest passion was baseball. At 13 years old, Robert was known around the Statesboro Recreation Department as “Rabbit,” a talented shortstop who dreamed of playing in the Majors. When he realized that dream would not become his future, he joked that he became “a lost soul” who simply skated through life searching for his place. That journey led him to Georgia Southern College, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1965 and a Bachelor of Science in Public Recreation in 1968. After several careers and many life lessons, Robert found
