Robert E. "Bob" Lafayette

I miss my dad every day. And regret that I did not realize what we all know, but few attend to: that life ends, and we don't have forever to read that book dad loved and wanted us to know too. Or to ask questions about his childhood. Here is a photo of dad with his first grandchild, Lily Fisher.

We would like to convey our deepest sympathies to the Lafayette family for the loss of a great husband and father. He will be profoundly missed.

Bob was a great guy. I have very fond memories of going to see foreign films with him and Dave at Cinema 21 back in the late 80s. Bob's perspective was always entertaining and enriching.

We have wonderful memories of Bob as an active parent in Cub Scout Pack 343 which met at Hazel Dell Elementary School. Bob was a great volunteer and strong supporter of the Pack and a tireless contributor to this family-oriented group of very active kids and parent volunteers. We have not seen Bob in many years but remember him and his caring, sharing, intelligence and sense of humor. Our sincere condolences go to Shelley and the family.
