Robert "Old Gent" Dutton, born August 15, 1928, passed away at his home with his family on Friday, March 16, 2012. Bob was born in Astoria, Illinois.
He married Doris Pauline Stead (deceased), and they had two children, Ed Dutton (wife, Bobbie) and Janette "Jan" Gage (husband, John). In 1956 they moved their family to Washington State where he worked at Weyerhauser, then for the U.S. Postal Service. Bob retired from the Post Office in 1987, and enjoyed many new adventures such as learning how to water ski, golfing and being a "snow bird". While in Arizona he met a new love – Joan Cole of Canada. They enjoyed many happy years together.
