Robert Allen Findlay

I am so sorry to hear this. He was my advisor for my Master's degree at ISU. He was a fine man and a great teacher!

Working with Bob at the Master Gardner nursery brought me such joy. His boundless energy was amazing. Bob gave above and beyond. I admired Bob for the person he was, and enjoyed his laughter and stories. I will truly miss him.

Bob will be sorely missed by the Dirt Works team.

Bob was an amazing soul. I was honored to work with him for 7 years at the Dirt Works garden. He was the driving force behind this beautiful garden. So much of Bob is embedded in this garden, which holds a lasting reminder of the beautiful person Bob was.

Always a friendy smile and good for interesting conversation. A man of many talents who was well-versed in the ways of the world. Peace and heavenly gardens are wished for your eternal soul, cousin Bob.

We will truly miss our dinners out with Bob at the Porthole Pub in Ocean Shores and his amazing advice, guidance and support as we restored all the native flora on our property at the beach. We will also miss the laughs we had with both Bob and Lee. We are heartbroken at Bob's passing, but our rewilded property at the beach will be a constant reminder of them both.

I so enjoyed working together with Bob within the Master Gardener Program of Thurston County. He was definitely the "go to" person at the Dirt Works Plant Nursery, using his amazing background and skills to keep the storage and office buildings in shape. Working with him on the Foundation Board was another wonderful opportunity to get to know Bob and learn more about him. His commitment to the organization was amazing! I will miss him immensely!
