Robert “Noah” Tietz
July 6, 1949 — May 20, 2013
07/06/1949 – 05/20/2013
Robert Tietz passed away at home in Bellingham, WA. He was born in Long Beach, CA to John and Louisa Tietz. He graduated with a B.A. from Humboldt State University. Bob served our country during the Vietnam War, then worked as an innovative and exacting member of the screen print industry. His commitment to excellence was complimented by his thoughtful efforts to reduce chemical exposure for workers and the environment. In his retirement, Bob became active with the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Bob, “Noah”, “Papa bear”, was a unique force to be reckoned with and his passing leaves a void that will only be filled with the passage of time. His two greatest joys in life were raising his three boys and being a Dead Head. He is survived by his son Spencer Tietz of Bellingham, stepson Andrew Tormala of Portland, OR, stepson Peter Tormala and daughter-in-law Hang Le of Lawrence, KS, and brother Jim Tietz of Meadview, AZ. A Celebration of Noah’s Life will be held at Westford Funeral Home on Monday, May 27, 2013 at 11 AM. Urn committal will be at a later date at Greenhills Memorial Park in Ranchos Palos Verdes, CA. Memorials may be made in Robert’s memory to Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
