Gary Joseph Robert

Gary J. Robert of Santa Clarita passed away, surrounded by family, on March 9 after a brief illness. He was born in Seattle on June 13, 1948 to Claude George and Helena Johnson Robert, both from Louisiana. When he was a young teen, his family moved to Los Angeles and were eventually joined by older brother Claude. Gary graduated from Stanford Univ. and UCLA School of Law. An attorney since 1978, he was employed by Fremont Insurance before starting his own practice in Inglewood specializing in Workers Compensation, later moving the office to Santa Clarita.

Gary was defined by his loyalty, courage and persistence. He was dedicated to his family and friends, his clients and his community, and made an impression on several young lives.

He is survived by his wife Fran, son Gary II (Christy), daughter Amber, brother Claude (Audrey) of Los Angeles, granddaughter Rosie, and niece Colette of NY.

Family and friends are invited to attend his service on April 6 at Eternal Valley Memorial Park in Newhall at 12 pm. Those he left behind will hold him close in our hearts, guided by his examples of integrity and strength, until we meet again.
