March 19, 1931----March 31st 2011
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.
He was skating enthusiast and was always there giving a helping hand to skaters. He enjoyed the sport and skated himself as a youth. He was very well known around the Seattle area rinks. 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.
