REMEMBERING BOB CLICK
Bob Click , a 25 year photographer in the PRCA, passed, away Sept 7th in Camas, WA. He was 84. Bob was born and raised in St Helens, OR on a family owned farm. His father was a horse trainer and he loved growing up round the horses and cattle. The same year he graduated from high school he joined the navy in the submarine division. It started a lifetime love of the mysteries of the deep ocean. Bob was a scuba diver throughout his adult life and would take the family on weekends to the Pudget Sound and the Hood Canal. He would explore the area and catch various creatures for the aquariums in that region. He started exploring underwater photography and has albums of beautiful pictures featuring fellow divers and many of the underwater creatures he would encounter. Bob worked for the phone company from the early 60’s until he retired. Due to the rapid changing technology he attended many continuing education schools over the years....and was a manager for years until he retired. Once he retired he turned his attention to his first love....rodeos. As a young man he was a bull rider and bareback rider until he was in a car accident that broke his back and landed him in the hospital for 6 weeks. He decided with a young family it was time to stop taking risks. But now with more time on his hands he picked up his cameras once again and started shooting in the Columbia River Circuit. He also attended the Redding, Red Bluff and Las Vegas rodeos. He loved being back in the arena and cherished the deep friendships he grew there. He is survived by his daughters, Patti and Shelly and his brother Dick, as well as four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren who were the light of his life. He was preceded in death by a daughter, son, parents and his beloved grandparents. It was Bob’s specific wishes that there would no be a service or memorial. He just asked that when friends or family that cared for him gathered together they would have a toast and remember him fondly.
