Greetings to the friends and family of Robert Fonda,

We have been working with Hilde and Robert's family to plan a memorial on October 29, 2016 in the afternoon/evening. It will be held in the Joshua Tree area. The site and details will be finalized soon, and we will provide updates via this thread. We are looking forward to having a great time remembering Robert. Truly one of a kind, and we were very fortunate to have spent time with Robert and Hilde over the years. Let's give our Bro a grand send off!!!

We will be gathering up pictures for the memorial. If you have more classic Robert shots, please dig them up!

One of the things we would like to get nailed down soon is the attendee list. If you are planning to attend, please respond to this thread, or PM myself or Ron Gomez. We will keep a running list and work with Robert's family. As things develop we will probably be looking for volunteers, especially in the JT area, to help with logistics.

I will post this on Mountain Project as well.

Peace Out!

Rob and Ron

Unfortunately I will be on the East coast and miss this tribute, send off for Robert.
I have some photos that I have tried to upload with no luck. Hope to find a way to share them.
Robert, one of a kind and truly great. Miss seeing him

Hi Everyone,

Plans are moving along. We are going to have a slide show running, so please forward any pictures you may have to me, and I will coordinate with Ron, family and friends.

Also, if you have some Easy Up's or folding tables you would be willing to bring, please let me know.

Cheers,

Rob
