A sad time for us all…
Leonard James Robar, 83, died Aug. 25, 2010, in Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas.
A Mass of Christian burial will be at 10 a.m. Friday at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 825 Klevin St., with the Rev. Fred Bugarin presiding. Pallbearers are Ben Robar, Jim Robar, Alan Robar, Kurt Robar, Cye Robar, Kevin Robar, Jamie Haines and Aaron Haines. Interment will follow at Angelus Memorial Park.
Jim was born Aug. 20, 1927, in Lennox, Calif., to the late Cyril and Jeanette Robar. He proudly served in the Army Signal Corps during World War II, as a communication specialist in the Philippines and Okinawa. After his discharge, Jim moved to Alaska in March of 1947 and he was one of the first to travel the Alaska Highway after it was opened for civilian use. Jim met Patricia Hamor in Anchorage, and they were married Nov. 19, 1949. He worked civil service at Elmendorf AFB. He was also employed with Matanuska Plumbing in Anchorage, and CR Lewis Plumbing and Heating of Anchorage before retiring in 1989.
Jim was an officer of Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 367 board for over 20 years. He was also a member of the Catholic Church, volunteered for Meals on Wheels, Boy Scouts of America where he was the first Boy Scout to earn Eagle in Alaska, and co-founder of the Alaskan Chapter RC Clubs.
His family states, “He was a man of integrity, honor, and devoted personal time through scouting, the union, and church activities to teach these values to others.”
Jim is survived by his wife of 60 years, Patricia Ann Robar of Mason, Texas; sons, James (Patricia) Robar, Alan (Karen) Robar, Kurt Robar; daughters, Tracy (Christopher) Haines and Krista (Mike) Bailey; grandchildren, Kevin Robar, Cheryl Hartbauer, Cye Robar, Alana Robar, Jamie Haines, Aaron Haines, Carlie Bailey, Amy Bailey, Maggie Bailey; great-grandchildren, Shelby Robar, CyAnn Robar, and Jason Robar; brother, Bernard (Brigitt) Robar, all of Anchorage.

Ain’t it great to be together?
HELLO ALL, got a new password so will try to use family web more often.It was two months last tuesday since Pat’s seazure ( thats what they decided to call it) resulting from MRSA staff infection right brain lobe.
she has gone through three hospitals and one nursing facility.
following surgery her left side, arm hand and leg were almost useless. thanks to many many prayers and excelent medical treatment, she was able to come home last wed. oct 21. went to Mass tonight and sat night dinner. She has been using a cane Alan made for me after my leg bypass, but tonight she did without the cane the whole evening. Not my idea.You know her. Beginning to wonder if I’m happy with her home or not. Seems nothing is now in it’s place in the house, she can’t find things. Hello what about Alan and me looking for Food, condoments,utinsels, etc. for two months. It’s great to have her home. JIM

Mom’s Status
Dad asked me to make a post for him. He brought Mom home from the hospital yesterday, and will be taking her to see a neurosurgeon in San Antonio this afternoon. He’ll be updating us with the results after their visit, so I’ll pass that along once I hear from them.
I know all our prayers are with Mom, and hopefully this thing will be resolved soon. She’s a tough cookie.

(note: I did it again, it saved the post as being by Alan, but alas, it was me.)
