In Memory
Robert Mauthe
The Board is sorry to report the passing of Birds Hill Park conservation officer
ROBERT W. (ROB) MAUTHE. Rob was FoBHP's a delegated park liaison and spent many hours at the Board table with Friends.
He was a dependable partner, relied on by many groups who host activities in the Park.
He loved his dogs, gardens and music.
Our condolences to his wife, Aneliese, other family and friends.
