Memorial services were held for Bob Sweet, well known to the Northwest.
He worked at the Marsyville Skate Inn for many, many years and before that, at the Lynnwood Skating Rink.

Along with all of the others duties of working on skates, rink maintainence, he donated his time the past few years helping the Marysville club with the lighting, prop construction, for the Marysville Skating Show every year. A tremendous supporter of skating and kids. He also worked for a time as manager of the Lynnwood rink a few years ago. He loved his family and was very proud of his grandsons Scott and BJ Whitkop who are competitive skaters. The skaters from the Marysville club will miss him so very much as well as skaters from all over the Northwest. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Sylvia and the family |
