Hi All,
Bob was one of those Hockey-L / Frozen Four folks that I always enjoyed
meeting, even for too-brief moments.
I especially recall having limited expectations for the 2005 Columbus
Frozen Four ... when I was unable to sell 4 of my extra tickets ... but
the hockey was good, the host city excellent, and our fortune good at
sharing the same hotel as Bob and Arlene. Each night we sat at the
Holiday Inn bar and talked college hockey, a little physics, and some of
the pleasures of life including Smith-family planning for a trip to
Southern California. The Columbus Frozen Four became one of my
favorites, as I treasured getting to know Bob and Arleen. I will miss
Bob Stagat.
Our condolences, Arlene, on your loss and our loss. Best wishes always.
With great regard,
Ben, Becky and Wayne Smith
P.S. Hockey-L does not distribute attachments, but I'm going to break
that rule and try to include a photo of Bob and Arlene from the Columbus
Frozen Four Hockey-L Dinner. Enjoy! wts

> I know many of you know Bob and Arleen Stagat from the NCAA tournaments they have been attending, and also just from the list discussions. For the past year, Bob has been fighting a vicious form of brain cancer and I just got word from Arleen that he lost his battle on August 10th at the young age of 63. Arleen suggested you all might want to know, so here I am.
