Robert Norcutt

Robert A. Norcutt, 68,  passed away Oct. 11, 2021. To anyone who heard Bob say “If a person wanted to” usually meant that Bob’s imagination was in full force. At a young age Bob discovered his passion for new adventures and challenges as long as it had wheels and a motor. Not many 9-year-old kids can say they were brought home by the Police for driving under age more than once. Bob had too many skills and interests to list, but most of all love for his family and friends. He earned his Million Mile Award accident free crossing the country in his 18-wheeler ironically with no speeding tickets. With each mile Bob had a story to tell and picture to share. He could recall each exit with a purpose to pull over and take in the view. Bob had a brilliant mind that could fix anything and a compassionate heart. He kept a rolled up bill in the door of his truck in case he met anyone in need. Although Bob’s passport does reflect incredible adventures he and Bev took together, he was genuinely happiest at home watching the lake and wildlife activity with Miss Kitty. Nicknamed Grandpa Cream Puff for good reason. Bob took each challenge as an opportunity to do something innovative. If a person wanted to take a tree branch down it would be more enjoyable to shoot it down than to use the chainsaw.

In Bob’s honor please take the time to reach out to family and friends as he loved to do. If you ever get by Exit 139 near Ellensburg WA stop and take in the view. Cherish each moment as Bob did, don’t dash to the finish line!

Survived by his wife Bev of 47 years. His children: Robin (Bill Briggs), Brad (Courtney Norcutt) and Amber (Cory Flinn). His grandchildren: Quentin, Kaitlin, Makenna, Duke and Daisy. His sister Dian (Mike Preuss) and many other cherished family and friends whose lives Bob has touched. 

Preceded in death by his grandson Alex, parents Irma and Quentin Norcutt, and in-laws Vi and Mike Dumos.

A Celebration of Life gathering will be held at a later date.
