I am sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is never easy. May you find comfort in God's promise that we can see our loved one again. John 6:40

Our thoughts are with the family of Bob Bettisworth. Bob was a long-time friend of ours. He did a lot for Fairbanks and all of Alaska.
From Jo and Dick Scott, NYC

Robert was a large positive influence in the growth of Fairbanks and the State of Alaska. He added greatly to the betterment of life in the city and state in which he and his family lived, and called home. People like him gave the rest of us a great foundation on which to continue building. I feel lucky to have called him "friend".

Bob was one who helped build Alaska and left a legacy for all he reached. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, esp. life long friends C.B. and Kenny. Diane Compeau Holmstrom

May the true God heal your broken hearts and comfort your pain Psalm 119:25,76 My deepest sympathies to Family, and friends

Mr. B will be missed by the many Alaskans whose
lives he touched. He and Barbara were our neighbors for a few years, and he had lots of fun stories to tell. We are very sorry to hear of his passing. Our prayers are with Barbara and the Family.

I am very sorry for your loss and offer my condolences to the family. May the peace and comfort that only God can give help you through the difficult days ahead.

Very sorry for your loss. The bible says that death will be swallow up and death will be no more. we look forward to that time, but right now continue trusting in the God of all comfort. Think of the good times.

I'll always remember your service on the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly during the early 70s, Bob, when I worked for the Borough in the Clerk's Office. And with you as a competitor with my father Ralph Chase in the Yukon 800 River Boat 800. The obit photo resembles you as I remember. May your family find comfort that you have ascended to the Lord's arms and may your spirit Rest In Peace.
