Robert Pavey Obituary
Bob attended Broadripple High School. Upon graduation he entered the Naval Air Force where he navigated lighter-than-air blimps.
During World War II he patrolled the South Eastern and Pacific Coasts.
Bob married Evelyn (Edie) in 1952 and had one son, Alan. In 1956 the family moved to San Diego. They have resided in La Jolla for 40 years.
Bob piloted his own Piper Clipper plane which became the source of many family outings. He also loved sailing and later power boating his beloved Bali Hai. Bob and Edie spent four months cruising the waters of British Columbia, especially Desolate Sound.
Bob was a Commodore at South Western Yacht Club during 1976. He has continued on there as Staff Commodore. He was also a member of the La Jolla Businessmen's Club.
He is survived by his loving wife, Edie; his son, Alan Lee and wife, Kathy; and grandson, Kyle Lee.
He is truly loved and will be greatly missed.

Edie,
LaJuan and I were so sorry to learn of Bob's passing. Bob was such a nice person-- always with a smile on his face and in high spirits. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Our deepest sympatjy to Mrs. Pavey, Alan and families. Bob was a very gentle caring person. He helped me with my car insurance beginning in 1967 until he retired? and my sons when they were able to drive. We'll be forever grateful to him. Periodically I'd asked Alan how Bob was doing, still boating. I was surprised to see his obituary in the newspaper. A great person who will be missed.

Edie,Alan and Paul. We have always appreciated Bob's overall dedication to SWYC. Bob recognized and supported the development of our Formal Race Management Program. He was an advocate for several changes made to our Dock rules. He goodnaturedly would rumple some feathers, when necessary. God Bless. Alex and Liz
