Robert Opland

Thank You, Arne & all who have written here. Being the eldest of his children, I know I received more than my fair share of the blessings of being raised by this man. The journey continues...

Uncle Bob, may you rest in the same peace you gave others. I remember learning the real joy of sailing with just one day on the water with you.

As a man that was like a second father to me I always respected your wisdom and advice growing up you will be dearly missed I will always remember time spent in Seward fishing and the night you put your trust in bringing your sail boat into Seward as you went and took a nap and still remember your words "son you can do this"

Dad, I know we had our differences. I guess that was our job, mine as daughter and yours as father, but I will never forget the comfort of curling up on your lap as a little girl. The deep rumble of your voice vibrating through your chest was the best lullaby a child could ever want.
Thank you for being my dad. Have you told the angels the one about Bob Hope at your favorite fishing hole yet?

My Papa Bob, you loved me and my children unconditionally and embraced us in your arms and heart. You always made me feel so special, I am going to miss that and so much more. I feel so honored to have the Opland name and to have you treat me like a beloved daughter, was such a sweet bonus. I will always love and miss you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May God's peace be with you and your family.

Mildred,
We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Bob. He was a good friend and a vey capable lawyer. I especially cherish our time together in the District Attorney's Office. Our thoughts and prayers are with and your family.
