We are saddened to share the passing of our father, Bob Heath. 
He lived a wonderful 90 years and touched the lives of so many. 
Per his wishes, there will be no formal service. 
Instead, we invite you to raise a glass in his memory and celebrate a life well lived. 
Bob was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Barbara Heath. 
He was a selfless father, loving provider, and loyal friend. 
Bob spent many years working as a typesetter, taking pride in his craft and the friendships he made along the way. 
Outside of work, he loved camping, fishing, skiing, tennis, and relaxing on his boat in the Delta. 
He was the kind of neighbor and friend everyone was fortunate to know. 
One of Bob’s favorite daily traditions was his morning "bro walk" with his friends and neighbors. 
Bob is reunited with his beloved wife, Barbara, whom he missed dearly. 
He is lovingly remembered by his daughters, Karen Malina and Darlene Heath; his grandson, Chase; and his daughter-in-law, Joy. 
He is also survived by his sisters, Louise Pineda and Pat Kirkland, and his brother-in-law, T., as well as his sister-in-law, Shirley Boggeri; and many nieces, nephews, dear friends, neighbors, and extended family members whose lives were enriched by knowing him. 
He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered. 
We invite everyone who knew Bob to honor his memory by raising a glass, sharing a smile, telling one of his stories, and celebrating a life well lived.
