In Memory – Robert Gossett 1939 -2021

The KWOA is saddened at the death of Robert Gossett of Fleming County. Bob was a graduate of the University of Kentucky, a military veteran, a woodland owner, treasurer and member of the KWOA board of directors, community leader and devoted family man.

​Henry Duncan, a KWOA past president, has known Bob since their college days. “We served together in the KY 100th Military Division. Bob owned/operated a tree farm in Fleming County, neighboring Pete McNeill's tree farm. Mr. McNeill (also a KWOA officer) was Bob's forestry mentor. Bob and I traveled to Washington DC with Kentucky Division of Forestry representatives and Bob Bower, Kentucky Forestry Industries Association, to participate in the American Tree Farmer Legislative Advocacy program. That trip offered many eventful and memorable experiences, as Bob and I traveled the great halls of Congress, making many wrong turns, but getting in our visits with Kentucky Legislators in support of forestry legislation.”
