Robert Laubacher Obituary
Robert Edward "Tiger" Laubacher passed away February 11, 2020 in Sun Valley, CA. A fourth-generation resident of Ventura County, he was born September 30, 1953 to Francis J. "Mike" and Marjorie Laubacher. He graduated in 1971 from Santa Clara High School. He then followed his late brother, Michael, to St. Mary's College in Moraga, graduating with his business degree in 1975.
Tiger spent many years in the Bay Area working for Amerisource Bergen and eventually transferred to Sacramento to lead the company's Western hospital division.
An accomplished guitarist, he passed that love of music on to his greatest sources of joy, his boys, Gregg of Fair Oaks, CA, and Alex, of Brno, Czech Republic. He will always be remembered for his great wit and sense of humor, his amazing memory for details and family history, his love for his family and friends and the Ventura County shoreline.
Due to Covid, a graveside service had to be postponed but is now scheduled at 11:00AM on October 2, 2020 at Sunset View Cemetery and Mortuary in El Cerrito, CA.
In addition to his sons, he is survived by his sisters, Jeannie (Tom) Bowman and Nancy (Mike) Shughrou, brothers John (Julie), Roger (Karen) and Brian (Paige), sister-in-law, Doris, 19 nieces and nephews and 6 great nieces and nephews. Memorial donations can be made to the Ventura County Rescue Mission.

I went thru grammar, high school, and St. Mary’s with Tiger. We started on roller skates in a warehouse at DSI in Oakland. Two years doing that, eventually becoming driving a delivery van to pharmacies in San Francisco. I moved on to driving ferryboats on the bay; Tiger stayed and became an executive when DSI was bought out by Bergen. I lost track of Tiger, but thought of our early days in Moraga quite often.
Condolences to all his family.

To Jeanie and Family,
To those of us who grew up with your family, and remember
the kindness, your family had for others, it’s hard to take this news.
I remember Tiger always hanging with his brother Mike. Tiger
always had a keen sense wit and wisdom.
