Robert Jay Alan Brody
(July 5, 1949 - September 6, 2012)
Robert Jay Alan Brody, 63, of Stowe, VT, passed away on Thursday, September 6, 2012. He was born in Cleveland, OH to Betty and Ernest O Brody. "Bobby" spent his youth in Cleveland. While at Boston University, "Brodes" became a coxswain for the BU rowing team. He was a serious competitor and loved the sport; he won a Bronze in the 1971 Pan American Games and a Silver in the 1979 World Rowing Championship.
After BU, he got on his motorcycle and headed west, stopping at every state park and mountain he could. His love of snow and the mountains led him to Park City where he worked and played for several years. Eventually, he made his way back east to Stowe where he lived for almost thirty years. For twenty years, "Bob Brody" worked at Concept 2 in Morrisville, VT with world-class rowers from around the world. In 1979, he jumped back into the coxswain seat in an eight boat with the veteran and very accomplished “Motley Crew.” They competed in the Head of the Charles in Boston every fall.
In 1985, he married
Heidi Hartwell. Soon after, their daughter Samantha joined the family. Robert loved his role as father. "Dad" saw in Sam a kindred spirit. He supported every endeavor and adventure she wished to explore. In recent years, Robert found a new passion acting in local theaters. It was at the Hyde Park Opera House in Fiddler on the Roof that he met and married
Donna Collins. Robert wanted to fulfill his dream of living by the ocean and moved to Key West, but soon he realized he was happier in Stowe, his home. This is where he spent his last years with his dog, Neo.
There were many pastimes that kept Robert busy. He could be found every Sunday doing the N.Y. Times crossword puzzle in pen. For years, he was the player with all the answers in any game of Trivial Pursuit. He was an avid reader and a familiar face at the Stowe Free Library. Robert was also an EMT volunteer for the Stowe Rescue Squad.
Robert’s father, Ernest O. Brody, predeceased him. He is survived by his mother, Betty Brody of Boca Raton, FL; his daughter, Samantha Ann Megan Brody of Santa Fe, NM; his sister Carol Brody (Marc Lipton) of Ann Arbor, MI and Dallas, TX; his sister, Terri Brody of Cleveland, OH and several nieces and nephews.
