The Alaska Miner, Summer 2024

In memoriam: Bob Maynard

In June, our friend Bob Maynard, a longtime attorney with Perkins Coie, passed away from injuries sustained while riding his bike in Boise. Bob worked in Alaska for a long time, early on as solicitor for the US Forest Service before eventually go- ing into private practice and work- ing on many other mining projects in Alaska and beyond. He’d relocat- ed to Boise several years ago. In May, a few of his old friends gathered in Anchorage to remem- ber and raise a glass in toast to Bob. Here’s a photo of that toast. “He was brilliant, kind, funny, fun, and would give you all the time in the world. He’d retired on Jan. 1 and was beginning to truly enjoy his days. I will miss him very much, and I know many of you will as well,” AMA Executive Director Deantha Skibinski said. “Thanks for the great idea to have a cheer to Bob — a good man who touched many of us.”
