PRICE, Robert William, 83, died on Sunday, August 30, 1998 after a summer long battle with pneumonia. Originally from Salt Lake City, Bob took pride in his alma mater, the Colorado School of Mines, and his work with the Army Corps of Engineers to build the Al Can Highway. After service as an officer during WWII, his career as a mining engineer took him to Latin America, Spain, Australia and the Philippines. A love of both travel and sailing propelled Bob and his wife, Rosella, to the far corners of the earth…all under sail. They returned their catamaran to Mexico after serval years of cruising by sailing it home across the Atlantic and through the Panama Canal. The crossing made Bob the oldest 'Skipper' to cross the Atlantic in 1987. The sailboat gave way to a camper and the sailing continued…by land instead of by sea. His life was rich in adventure and friends. Bob is survived by his wife, Rosella; his sister, Arlene; his daughters and son-in-law, Gail, Ann and Steven and his stepchildren, Cynthia and Dennis. No memorial service is planned at this time. Arrangements by HUDGEL'S SWAN FUNERAL HOME.
