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, I will certainly miss you! You have been a a true leader and captain of our Alpine Bank ship. You have always directed and steered this ship in the right direction and have been so creative in your thought processes for our bank, our communities and the employees of Alpine Bank. There is much honor in all that you did for all of us, the care you have given to the community and people who received so much value from your choices. I have been with this company for 32 years and I am so appreciative of this place to work which has been the best in my career. You created a very family oriented work place and your intuitive way of thinking to make the best bank comes from long term happy people both in the community and is represented well in the employees due to our enthusiasm to adopt your belief system. You have definitely left a legacy behind for all of us. Thank you so much, Bob, from the bottom of my heart for making my life more enriched.
Please wait...
