It is with great sadness that the family of Robert A. Kent announces his passing, on Monday, Nov. 12, 2018, at the age of 72. A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Winslow. Robert retired from BNSF after more than 30 years of service. He is a veteran who was drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War and stationed in Baumholder, Germany. He also worked at North American Rockwell where he met a few astronauts while working on space capsules and was a long time Elk member who served a term as Exalted Ruler. Robert (Bob to most) loved hunting, fishing and camping. In his younger years he was an avid bow hunter and loved racing motorcycles. Robert is survived by his wife of 53 years, Patricia; and his children, Kimberly (Jim) Currier, Brenda Kent and George Kent. Robert will also be fondly missed by his six grandchildren, James, Brandon, Dallas, Ashley, Bridget and Christopher; as well as his four great-grandchildren; sister, Judy (Jean) Moleres of Grants, N.M.; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Dovie Kent. Greer’s Mortuary of Winslow handled the arrangements.
