Obituary of Robert Edward Lundquist

Robert Edward Lundquist passed away on Sunday, February 8, 2015. He was surrounded by loved ones and it was a gentle, peaceful passing. Born to Lawrence and Lolita Lundquist on April 30, 1947 in Belmont, MA, he grew up in Maplewood, MN with his brother Ron and sisters Lynn Marie and Lee Ann. He attended Dartmouth College where he was a star running back on the football team. He attended law school at the University of Arizona, and remained in Tucson until his death.

Bob was a scholar, an athlete, an outdoorsman, and a remarkable musician. He volunteered his time with Lawyers for Literacy, Triangle Y Camp, and coached several youth sports. Known to his friends and family as "Mountain Bob", he lived life to the fullest and leaves this world with many stories to remember him by. He will be deeply missed.
