Bob received a Bachelor's Degree in English from Mankato State University in 1967 and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of San Francisco in 1973. He worked for the Contra Costa District Attorney's Office as a Deputy District Attorney for thirty years before retiring in 2004. He loved the law and found his professional calling in prosecution. Bob was widely admired as a prosecutor who was tough and fair. His children, Nick and Angie, were the center of his life. He frequently told stories of their adventures and achievements, shared pictures, and participated in family celebrations. He felt great joy in their successes. Bob was a voracious story teller, an avid golfer, a craftsman, a fisherman, and a barbeque connoisseur. He loved to debate with anyone who was willing to challenge his mind. He had many friends from his years in the DA's office and life in the Bay Area. Bob is survived by his children, Nick and Angie, his mother, Alice Law, his sisters, Sylvia Law, Kathy Hogan (HHS-1966)(Dennis), and Judy Law (HHS-1970)(Gary Nakamoto), and three nieces and two nephews. https://www.facebook.com/groups/52486833520/search/?q=Robert Law |
