Funeral homes often submit obituaries as a service to the families they are assisting. However, we will be happy to accept obituaries from family members pending proper verification of the death.
Robert Earl “Bob” Whitecotton was born Aug. 3, 1934, in Pine Grove, Ore., to Marion and Ethel Whitecotton. Bob passed away Dec. 12, 2023, at Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital in Hood River, Ore., due to complications of pneumonia.
