Honoring the life and legacy of J. Robert “Bob” Young
For more than 50 years, Bob Young built Alpine Bank on a foundation of compassion and community connection. His vision created more than a bank; it created a culture where caring
for others comes first.
As we celebrate Bob’s remarkable life, we invite you to share your thoughts, memories and stories. Whether it’s a moment of kindness, a lesson learned or simply what Bob meant to you, your words will help honor his enduring spirit and inspire future generations.
Because as Bob often reminded us: “the most valuable thing one person can give to another is caring. When you care, everything else just follows.”
Let’s keep that promise alive, together.

Bob hired me in 1985. After my second interview we were chatting in his office, and he said "You really want to work here, don't you?" I affirmed that I did, and he simply replied "Okay". That day changed my life and Bob changed the lives of myriad other people over the course of his lifetime. He was the personification of The Golden Rule. His philosophy that helping others, will in turn help you and your community, has been affirmed time and again everywhere you see an Alpine Bank sign. My family and I are so grateful that Bob said "okay" to me all those years ago. Thank you Bob. Rest easy.
