Robert Michael LaFollette
1940 – 2024 Wenatchee, WA
Robert "Bob" "Mick" Michael LaFollette, 83 years of age, resident of Wenatchee, WA, passed away peacefully on May 10, 2024. He was born to J. Dale and Violet LaFollette, in December of 1940. He graduated from Wenatchee High School in 1959. Bob went on to teach art at Eastmont High School and Bellevue High School, which he retired from. He loved his students and pushed them to do their best. Many of who ended up showcasing their art around the Pacific Northwest. His talent as an artist carried over in many directions. He could build anything, fix anything, draw anything and socialize with anyone. His love for old cars became his ultimate passion. In his later years, he restored many show cars and loved going with his Hot Rod family to shows with his cars. He made so many friends everywhere he went.
