Robert Ladle Obituary
1952-2022
South Jordan —Bob was known for his fine mind, inquisitive spirit, passion for music and love for literature. He was a family man and wanted nothing more than to take care of his loved ones. His grandchildren held a particularly special place in his heart. Bob's journey began Nov. 6, 1952 and he took his last ride on Thursday, Aug. 4th, 2022 following medical complications. Anyone that encountered this magical man felt his power. May you Rest In Peace and say "hi" to the Pilot in the Sky.
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a ride!" -Hunter S. Thompson
A farewell will be held in honor of Bob on Sunday, September 18th from 5-7pm.
Flat Iron Mesa Park - Upper Outdoor Pavilion, 1765 E 8600 S
Sandy, UT 84093

Bob had a very dear place in my heart. We shared the same birth date. He shared his love for music and would include an album wherever I had our shared birthday. He had an awesome personality and a generous spirit. He will be missed!

RIP to a unique man, gone too soon, nicknamed by the team 'Unicorn Bob.' I knew Bob through his activism for women and girls, he cared very much about truth, justice and equality.

I remember Bob as a friend and fellow traveler through space and time. Loved his passion for music! I would hang out at his record store, in Logan, Utah, and he would amaze me with his ability to play a song, then make excited sounds, before playing another. So many songs and bands! I loved hearing him rap about music, until I would want to learn to play and sing, as well! So I did! Thanks, Bob! I will miss your wit, too!

So many memories, from Top Flight records, to his family, to the introduction of several people I still regard as friends.
Bob had eclectic taste. Moved through life with finesse and grace. Credit JJ Cale.
Gone too soon.
