Robert G. "Bob" McCubbin passed away, peacefully in his sleep, Thursday morning, April 9, 2020, in Santa Fe, New Mexico at the age of 83. Bob was the founding president of Wild West History Association and known world-wide for his two important collections: photographs of Wild West and frontier characters, and his one-of-a-kind collection of first edition books and pamphlets. Born February 17, 1937 in Stillwater, Oklahoma, he was the father of four children, Cody, Julie, Tacey, and Bobby, and several grandchildren. He is also survived by a dear brother, Don and wife Mary Ann, and their daughter, Cheryl.

Due to the current situation with COVID 19, no funeral service will be held at this time. A memorial service will be conducted in Lincoln, New Mexico at the first opportunity. Long-time friend, Roy B. Young, will deliver the eulogy. Further notice of arrangements will be announced as soon as they are known.
