[Obituary for Robert B. Pace, Sr., from the Wenatchee World, 23 Dec 1992; posted online to the FindaGrave.com website.]

MANSFIELD _ Robert B. Pace, 72, of Mansfield, died Monday, Dec. 21, 1992, in the Okanogan-Douglas County Hospital at Brewster following a brief illness.

He was born Aug. 14, 1920, to Berle and Myrtle (Kelley) Pace at Wenatchee. He was raised and educated at Rock Island and attended Wenatchee High School.

He married Opal Ray on Jan. 26, 1939, at Yakima.

Mr. Pace logged for a number of years at Oregon and California. He was also a diesel mechanic for several companies including Beebe Orchards. He also had his own mechanic shop at Chelan for a few years. He retired in 1985.

Survivors include three sons, Richard of Manson, Robert of Chelan and Freddie of Albany, Ore.; three daughters, Janice Smith of Quincy, Deanea Zing of Lebanon, Ore., and Jeanne Marie; three sisters, Doris Moore, Ruth Thompson and Laura McLaren, all of Wenatchee; 20 grandchildren; and 18 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by two brothers and a sister.
