Bob Lozano Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jan. 11, 2015 @ 2:00 am Posted Jan. 11, 2015 @ 2:00 am » Social News July 4, 1934 November 27, 2014 Robert S. Lozano passed away peacefully from pleural mesothelioma at his cattle ranch near Butte Falls, Ore. on Thanksgiving morning. Robert (known to family and friends as Bob) was born on July 4, 1934, in Palo Alto, Calif. to Manuel and Emily Lozano. Bob attended Stanford Elementary School, Jordan Junior High School, and was a member of the Palo Alto High School class of 1953. He received a Bachelor's of Art degree in Studio Art from San Jose State University in 1958. He served two years in the U.S. Army, stationed at Fort Ord, from 1958 to 1960. After release from the U.S. Army, he spent a winter as a ski instructor at Dodge Ridge Ski Resort in the Sierra Nevada. He then commenced a 24 year career teaching Studio Art and Art History at Los Gatos High School from 1961 to 1985. He served as the head of the Art Department for much of his teaching tenure. The rural nature of the Santa Clara Valley had a profound influence on the trajectory of Bob's life. When he was young, he enjoyed riding his pony in the Stanford foothills. He was an avid bird hunter and spent many memorable trips hunting in the Central Valley of California, Nevada and Mexico. Bob married fellow artist Judy Hanshue of Los Gatos, Calif. on December 19, 1964. In 1968 they spent a year traveling through Europe, living in a Volkswagen camper, on a teaching sabbatical. Bob and Judy were in many shows featuring their artwork in the Bay Area and in Oregon in the 1960s and 70s. In 1971, they built a home in the Santa Cruz Mountains outside of Los Gatos. Their daughters, Sarah and Mandy, were born in 1975 and 1977, respectively. Their rural home served as an inspiration for their art and allowed them to have acreage for their livestock. Bob and Judy were also avid skiers and adventurers and enjoyed spending time with their family and friends at their Lake Tahoe cabin. In 1985, Bob retired from Los Gatos High School to fulfill his dream of owning and operating a working cattle ranch. The Lozanos purchased a ranch outside of Butte Falls and moved their family to begin their second careers operating the newly-named JRL Ranch. They operated a cow-calf operation that focused on pasture-raised, grass-fed beef cattle in a holistically managed environment. They also supported sustainable logging practices for its timber harvests. The JRL Ranch received several awards, of which Bob was extremely proud: Producer of the Year by Western Ranchers Beef, Co-Operator of the Year by the Jackson County Soil and Water Conservation District, and Co-Operator of the year by the Oregon Association of Conservation Districts. Starting in 2001, the Lozanos supported the Oregon State University Bedell Internship Scholarship that allows an Oregon State college student the opportunity for hands-on ranching experience at the JRL Ranch each summer. Always an avid horseman, Bob enjoyed riding, working cattle, and roping in the California Vaquero tradition. In recent years, he participated in many team roping competitions. Bob, Judy, Sarah, and Mandy and their families also enjoyed traveling/trekking throughout the United States, Europe, North Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and South America. Bob is survived by his wife Judy- Hanshue Lozano, his daughter Sarah Lozano Larson, son-in-law Ryan, grandson Blake, and granddaughter Scarlett of Encinitas, Calif., and daughter Mandy Lozano of Seattle, Wash. He is also survived by his sister Shirley Lozano Klynn and her family of Palo Alto and Littleton, Colo., and brother Manuel Lozano and his family of Portola Valley, Atherton, Encinitas, and Pacific Palisades. This spring his ashes will be spread on Horse Hill, where his special animals rest, where Sarah was married, where he'll have a 360-degree view of his ranch and Mt. Pitt, and where he'll be able to watch over his family. To honor Bob's memory the Lozano family requests that donations be made in his name to the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (www.curemeso.org) Providence Hospice (www.oregon.providence.org). As a friend of Mandy's remarked, In a sky full of stars, your father was the sun. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew him during his 80 years on this earth.
