Bob Coakley

Bob, I was going through my photos and came across a post card you wrote to me. You were a dear friend. We had many good times together, laughs, skiing and that mountain bike ride into the dark, riding through forbidden lands in Carmel. I miss you friend.

Oh gosh. Im so sad to find out about Bob. We were friends in grade school in Aspen and once traveled to Carmel with Jan in the station wagon to visit his dad at the lodge. He is a true character I will never forget. My condolences to Jan, Mike and his family...such a loss.

I just found out we lost you Bob. I've thought about you often over the years.
I wish we could go back in time to our days at Monte Vista Christin School, when we were little and our troubles were few. You will live forever in our hearts and memories.

Bob today you would have turned 51. We first met in Carmel in the mid eighties. You were always filled with life and we shared some amazing times together from Jerry Garcia playing on the upper mountain at Squaw Valley to heli skiing in Alaska cir 1995 when it was only the best of the best who dared to venture to ski those mountains. What a blast to be around and share those great times all those years ago. Miss your great energy but know you are still grooving to awesome tunes and riding epic runs. Say hey to Jerry for me. Godspeed

It has been two years today. a sad day, but it can be heard that you are telling us, "It's okay, everything is great where I am now. I love you all." Rest in peace, my love and always know how much we all miss you. Life isn't the same without you. Your mother, Jan Wren

what an interesting guy...Peter, Boston

I met Bob in Whistler just after he was filming almost 20 years ago now. He flew me down to LA and we drove up the California coast where he showed me some of the most beautiful places and introduced me to his amazing life, friends and mother. My memories are of his smile, huge heart and his trusted van that drove us to all of the Greatful Dead Shows :) ... My condolences to all of his family and friends, much love to you during this time...

Although I did not know Bob, my heart goes out to his family. Peter, I am truly sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.
