We received the sad news that boB passed away after a tough battle with lung cancer. He died December 13, 2024 in Sun City, Az. Services to be held in Everett are pending.
Lovely note from classmate Wendy Hopf Norris:
I visited with Bob at his home in AZ on Nov. 9, 2024. He had been doing chemotherapy for lung cancer. We had been texting for a very long time. Bob was my best friend in high school and probably my best friend ever. He was the sweetest guy I ever have known.

Such sad news, Bob was a nice guy. I rarely saw him without his camera in hand or close by. Godspeed Bob, maybe you can take your camera with you

boB truly was a good friend to so many which speaks to the heart and soul of the man given what I saw him endure through elementary school. Travel in peace boB.Debra Herrmann

Bob was selfless and generous with the time it took to attend and photograph nearly every school event. His photos will continue, for decades, to bring pleasant memories to former classmates and admirers. Rest In Peace, Bob.
