Robert Max Bronson, (“Bamps” to his grandchildren) gathered the reins, stepped foot into the stirrup and swung his leg over his trusted mule BJ; together they have taken that final ride to the top of Black Pine Mountain. On a quiet Sunday morning, November 19, 2017, Bob joined his loved ones, family, and friends who had gone before. Those he left behind lost an all-time great Cassia County, Idaho, sheep and cattleman legend.
Bob came into this world on March 13, 1919, born to James Lewis Bronson and Alice Camila Lewis (both now living with our Heavenly Father). Brothers and sisters included Ruth Ione Bronson Fuller, Karl Lewis Bronson, Naomi Jean Bronson Judd, and youngest brother James Hyrum Bronson (all deceased), and his one living sister Merilyn Bronson Reeves, who resides in Oregon.
As a young U of I college man Bob fell in love and married Lucile Margaret Peacock on February 22, 1942, in Pocatello, sons were born to this union: Robert Douglas Bronson (Bob, Jr.), born September 17, 1943, and Karl Jule Bronson, born November 26, 1944; both were outlived by their father.
