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.

I never imagined I would be meeting the CEO of the bank I was interviewing for - but that's exactly what happened! After my interview with Glen Jammaron and Tom Kenning back in 2016, Glen had asked if I had time to meet Bob Young. I of course said sure, but I was so incredibly nervous! I had not prepared to meet Bob, of all people, on my second interview with Alpine Bank. But as soon as I entered his office and we began to chat, there was such a calming presence about him. My nerves began to disappear and we just had a conversation. He wasn't interested in my background, he wanted to know more about ME, as a person. I didn't interact too much with him over the last ten years that I've been at Alpine Bank, but I remember talking with Bob at my interview like it was yesterday. I feel incredibly honored to still be working here ten years later and help continue the legacy he has built. Thanks for everything, Bob!
