Rob Bosworth 1950 – 2018
Rob passed away at home in Juneau, on June 8th, after a long battle with Parkinson’s and its unpredictable symptoms. It’s hard to summarize such a vibrant life, and wonderful man. Whenever he walked out the door Rob liked to say, “We’re off, on the greatest adventure of our lives!”
This set an amazing precedent for his 40+ years in Alaska. Rob’s adventures were diverse, from singing in operas and winning spelling bees to flying planes and felling trees. He was a diligent advocate for wild spaces, subsistence lifestyles, and responsible resource management – working for many years for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and later starting the Southeast Alaska office of The Nature Conservancy. In his workshop Rob created beautiful things for people to truly use: violins, tables, rowing sculls, cutting boards. He sang heartily and learned to play every instrument he met. Much of Rob’s time was spent in Gustavus, at the cabin he built in 1977. He spent long summers there raising two rascal children, making his sweetheart laugh, puttering with chainsaws, attending Friday cocktail hour, and walking new trails with old friends. Rob had a sharp wit to the end – surprising everyone with one-liners and acapella renditions of old folk melodies even after he lost the ability to converse. Although Parkinson’s took so much from him, his twinkle was persistent, and he battled all symptoms with more graciousness than seemed possible. In the last few years in Juneau, he joined Rock Steady boxing, which introduced him to a jovial and courageous community of locals on their own journey with Parkinson’s. His wife Koren and his two children Joey and Adrienne are still traveling, laughing, and basking in all the gifts he left them.
