Robert “Bob” Priest, formerly of Sanders Saws and Blades passed away quite unexpectedly after suffering a heart attack on May 30, 2020.

Bob was an icon in the industry and served as IGGA President and treasurer for many years, his efforts shaping the industry as it grew over time. He was a friend and a mentor to many. Bob is survived by his wife Norma, sons Roberts Jr. and Christopher, granddaughters Candice and Wendy and eight great-grandchildren. Chris Priest is a past CSDA Board member and committee chair. Bob will be sorely missed.

Due to the difficulties presented by COVID-19, a small viewing was held in Queenstown, MD in June, with a date and time to be set for a memorial service in the near future.
