Robert Martin Skare

I share by condolences with the Skare family and the larger community of people who were impacted by his compassion and generosity. With Bob's passing, the world has lost one of its most passionate, persistent, energetic, enthusiastic, and imaginative advocates for young people, their families, and their communities!

I've only known Bob for the last third of his life. He was a great supporter of Search Institute (where I worked for the past 30+ years), long before I arrived on the scene. Few people have been as committed as Bob to finding innovative ways to bring unlikely people together to make the world a better place--whether in Aspen or northern Minnesota. I can only wonder who and what he's pulling together now that he's on the other side of the "pearly gates"!

The world needs more Bob Skares--people with boundless energy and commitment to live loving your neighbors as yourself. Thanks, Bob!

Thank you for your support of the Oslo Peace Center efforts. They were very much appreciated. We will miss you.
