RWC Adjunct Professor Bob Von Bargen, who taught real estate classes in the Business Department for over 30 years, passed away recently. Professor Roger Hehman said that Von Bargen was “admired by students and held in high esteem by his colleagues. He served this college well and was thoroughly committed to it, which is why it was a most difficult thing for him to do a few months ago when he had to give up teaching his spring quarter course.”
According to Hehman, Von Bargen loved teaching and being a part of RWC. “Congenial and affable, Professor Von Bargen was a friend to all who met him, a truly gracious and warm gentleman,” Hehman wrote in an email to RWC faculty and staff. “He was an accomplished professional and well respected by his peers. We will not easily, if ever, replace Bob Von Bargen.”
