In loving memory of Robert B. Moomaw, 82, who passed away on Aug. 2, his 55th wedding anniversary. Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Donna. He will be lovingly missed by his family and friends.

He also was a talented piano player and traveled with a band. He would work summers at various resorts in the Rocky Mountains and in Sun Valley, Idaho, hiking and skiing.

He worked summers in the Rocky Mountains as a park ranger in the Never Summer Range. He later worked for a construction firm on the Big Thompson Water Project. He was especially proud of the pipeline he helped build that feeds the Flatiron Power and Pumping Plant and can be seen in the foothills west of Loveland.
