Bob, in case your're listening, I frequently think about the things we talked about or did together, i.e. Pecos BBQ, sampling a good single malt scotch, talking football, camping, just hanging out. Whenever I think of you a BIG smile shows on my face. I miss you dear buddy. Ron

Bob, this message is quite late as I didn't know you had passed. You were my dear friend for many years. We shared a fondness for football, training business leaders, sharing funny stories over single malt scotch, camping, eating Pecos BBQ, and endless other things. I shall miss you my friend. Family and friends were very important to you and there will always be a warm place in my heart for our friendship. Best, Dr. Ron Dohr

To Bob's family- Bob was instrumental (teacher/mentor) when I first started football officiating in 1977. He worked many games with me and the rest of the rookies in our first few years (teaching/guiding) and helped me attain a personal goal of becoming a Pac-10/12 football official for 20 years. Thank you, Bob.

Coach Bob Ewbank as I knew him, gave me one of the greatest gifts of my life time. As a fourteen year old at Wegdewood Gil Dobie football, the coach in his own time, made me into a passing QB. After leading Seattles Metro league in passing stats at Ingraham H.S. I played for Western Washington University, and after leaving there was offered the job as quarterback coach for a Hall of Fame high school coach in Seattle. None of this fine experience would have remotely occurred without the selfless and generous time devoted by the coach. I sincerely regret not having expressed that to coach Ewbank as an adult. The coach, in my opinion was a master of quarterback mechanics. No where did I go where I was exposed to better mentoring. I feel very fortunate.------Greg Forrest---Scottsdale, Arizona 425-761-1827

I was a neighbor in Wedgwood many years ago. I remember the Ewbanks family up the street as a big, friendly family. My parents owned Wedgwood Pharmacy. Both my parents and oldest brother Lanny have passed away. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Corinne Dumas (Gagnon)
