ROBERT SAX Obituary

Robert William Sax 12/6/1945 ~ 8/21/2010 Robert William Sax, father, brother, and friend, died Saturday August 21, 2010 following a lengthy struggle with heart disease. Behind his tough-guy exterior, Robert possessed a huge heart, a great sense of humor and an overwhelming generosity, especially with those he loved. He doted on his pets. Robert spent much of his life in Nevada employed in the gaming industry. He enjoyed the out of doors, particularly playing golf and fishing. He loved a bargain and was a true thrift store aficionado. Robert is survived by his daughter, Kristie Sax-Murphy (Scott); sister, Charlee Smith of Salt Lake City; sister, Cynthy Sax of Albuquerque, NM; and several nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death father; Irving, mother; Virginia and siblings; Roberta and Richard and niece; Lee. Friends are invited to a Celebration of his life; Friday, August 27th, 2010 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. at 9955 S. 730 E., Sandy, Utah. Robert, we will miss those sparkling blue eyes and engaging smile. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.garnerfuneral.com

I'll never forget and still enjoy the Sax salad, although Robert chose to prepare it in a garbage sack. Haha, what a character!

Robert you were like an older brother to me. I read Paul Rolley's comments about you and, like him, you were a guardian angel to me also. I enjoyed being your friend and I know what a good guy you were and how much fun you were to be around. Reputations aren't always accurate. God bless you and Richard. I'm glad I knew you both. Condolences to Kristi and Charlee and the whole Sax Family. My brother Jim wishes you all well too.

I saw Robert's name mentiond today in Paul Rolly's article in the Tribune. It was quite touching. I haven't seen Robert since the mid 70's but he left a great and lasting impression.
Sorry to see he's moved on, but may he rest in peace.
