Robert Kent Hedlund

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 47 years Sara, children Ian and Alexi, siblings Steve, John, Rick, Roger, and Karen, along with many friends and extended family.

Robert, "Dr. Bob," attended medical school at VCU in Richmond, Virginia specializing in Family Practice and Radiology. He followed his father's footsteps and joined the Air Force as an MD for 4 years. This is what brought Bob and his family to the Pacific NW. After serving in the Air Force, Bob joined the company Inland Imaging where he worked as a Radiologist for 30 years.

Bob enjoyed all that the NW has to offer including fishing, camping, hiking, hunting and sailing. One of Bob's greatest gifts to the world was laughter. He was a storyteller at heart and was always up for a good prank. Between his ability to write satire through poetry, his medical expertise, and his love of people, Bob was a beautiful blend of Science and Art, Dr. and Clown, never taking life too seriously and always remembering to be playful and curious.

His legacy of Laughter and Joy will not be forgotten.
