Bob Epstein

He was born in Fall River, Massachusetts on October 7, 1951 to Muriel and the late Seymour Epstein of NYC, NY.

Bob lived in Scarsdale, NYC and Cambridge, NY before moving to Boulder.

He was a gifted artist and musician all of his life, playing lead guitar with The Mambo Combo in New York and with his bands Wasted Youth and Dark Star of Davidson in Colorado. Bob began his career in sculpture 25 years ago, spending his early years as a potter and ceramic sculptor before choosing the medium of bronze for his creative expression. In recent years, Bob became a wood sculptor, luthier and custom amp cabinet maker, as well as the benevolent Grand Poobah of Pan-Galactic Sculpture, a custom Harley Davidson engine parts company.

He is the cherished life partner of Jacqueline Buckner, beloved “extra daddy” to Cassidy, devoted loving father to Cass, Alex & Josh and their mother Marjorie, caring brother to his sisters Susie, Randy and Jane, and their husbands, Jeff, Edgar and Bruce.

Bob loved his family, his friends and his life, and will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him. His huge heart and generosity of spirit lives on in all of us.

Donations in Bob’s memory can be made to The Seva Foundation and The Coral Reef Alliance.

A memorial service will begin at 11:11 am on Friday, October 14, 2011 at the Rocky Mountain Climbers Club Room at Chautauqua Park.
