Robert “Bob” Neil Martin sadly took one last short-cut and left us behind on Dec. 16, 2011. He died peacefully with his loved ones by his side. The heartache he suffered that day has left an unexpected emptiness in our lives but his gentle smile and great stories will continue to warm our hearts. Bob was born an only child of Howard E. & Joyce A. (Bacon) Martin inIllinoison Feb. 11, 1953. He enjoyed his life and traveled often, returning recently to Utah to reunite with his two daughters and the three shining stars in his life; Alyssa, Jayson, and Garrett. Dads love of hunting, fishing and the outdoors left everyone with a memorable story including knowing a “short-cut” to just about every place we were going and making sure everyone knew how to “fall”. In his life, he accomplished many things including Naval Service and the completion of a Master’s Degree in Environmental Engineering. He worked several places holding positions as a Regulatory Compliance Analyst at Lockheed Martin in Dugway, Chief Operations Officer at Westech Aerosol Corp. in Washington and Explosive Materials Handler at Tooele Army Depot.

Just learned of Bob’s passing. I am so sorry for your loss. From my perspective as a colleague at Tooele Army Depot, he was quite a fine character. The world will not be the same.
