COLBY -- ROBERT Our much loved Robert Colby passed away on Wednesday, February 8, 2012. It is no surprise to any who knew him that in dying he showed the same grace, gentleness, brilliance, and humor that he had shown throughout his wonderful life. Rob will be dearly remembered by all of the many, many people whose lives he touched so deeply. He was a forensic psychologist and private-practice psychotherapist for many years, a poet and constant writer, a performance artist, and a person completely creative in his life. Robert Edward Colby was born in Albuquerque on October 8, 1948, to Ed and Anita Colby. He was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Isabel Boldizsar. Also, he is survived by his brother, Raggio Colby and his wife Myra and family of Denver, Colorado. He leaves behind many cousins from the historic New Mexico Seligman family, and many, many friends. Rob recently described himself as follows: "Avocations: amateur essayist; professional poet (lifetime income from poetry: $75); unpublished novelist; deltiologist (postcard collector); and, of course, perpetual traveler." Robert had an encyclopedic memory, a vast store of knowledge, and his stories were amazingly timely and profound. He was an extremely whimsical person who brought great joy to his many friends. His gifts to us in his time here on Earth were without measure. He was beautiful in every way. There will be a memorial service on Saturday, March 3rd at 1:30 P.M. at the Center for Spiritual Living, 2801 Louisiana N.E.
