Bob Boland, Class of 1979

Robert Boland, Class of 1979

It is with a heavy heart that I bring news of the passing of Bob Boland.  A Marine Option at Vanderbilt NROTC and ferocious rugby player, he was a leader for and sculptor of young Midshipmen.

He passed away this past weekend while sailing off the coast of Southern California.  We don’t have a lot of information, but we know there will be a memorial service Saturday, May 16th at 11AM at Saint Margaret Parish, 4300 Oceanside Blvd, Oceanside, California.  Bob will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery – we do not know the details yet, but will post as soon as we do.


Please keep Bob, his wife Gail and his daughters in your prayers.
