In Loving Memory of...

Robert Ira Alabaster

Bob passed away peacefully in the early morning of Friday, August 17, with his wife Lucy at his side.  He fought a courageous battle against cancer.  This city boy and his country girl shared each other's love for over twenty years.  They made their lives and work one, together with each other at Sweetwater Stables.

Bob was passionate; if he felt something was worth spending his time on, he made sure it was time well spent.  He had many varied interests. Among them; he played a mean guitar, he was an avid motorcyclist, a sail border, mountain biker, photographer, competent cook, and an expert frisbee player. Bob and his horse, Roy, were slowly coming to an understanding, when they were interrupted by Bob's illness.  Bob spent over 20 years in the silk screen industry, and has world renown for technical knowledge of the business.  He was an eclectic reader with a wide ranging intellect, and he held his own in any conversation.  Bob could also be pretty goofy when the mood struck him.  He was a loving husband, brother, uncle, and friend; and a good, decent man.

A memorial for Bob will be held at a family friend's house on Saturday, September 15 at 6:30 PM. Directions will be up soon or you can call Lucy.
