Bob’s legacy is incredibly deep and will live on in so many people that he touched. The obvious is the culture of caring that he created at Alpine Bank providing opportunity for so many employees and empowering us to do our best. Doing our best meant service to others, employees, customers and our communities. Bob took a chance by hiring me into his supportive, growth-oriented bank. Bob taught us to work with compassion, loyalty and be fiercely independent. Bob’s generosity is evident in local institutions and the ESOP structure of Alpine Bank. Kindness was one of Bob’s key traits. I think about Bob with so much gratitude for what he created.
