Robert Jordan Obituary
April 7, 1946 - October 18, 2024
Bob Jordan passed away at home, surrounded by his loving family, after a 7-year struggle with Alzheimer's disease.
Bob lived a full and passionate life in his 78 years, filled with family, friends, adventures, travel, and music whether it was jazz, blues or opera. He was known for his intelligence, compassion, wit, generosity, and kindness. He found much gratification with his life choices and community involvement, as well as meaningful work in the Peace Corps in Colombia 1968-70, and 30 years work at California Human Development.
Bob leaves a loving family, his wife of 39 years Jennifer and son Andrew (Carsen), brother Dick (Jacque), niece Elena (Liam), and our Connecticut family, sister-in-law Terry and her 3 children and spouses and 8 grandchildren.
The family thanks the angels at Anchor Hospice for their compassionate care for Bob and family in the last 5 months of his life.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, when our grief has subsided.
