Robert Graham Bosworth Jr. ’46

On Bob’s 80th birthday, Aug. 25, 2003, the mayor of Denver, John Hickenlooper, declared it was that city’s “Robert G. Bosworth Jr. Day.” Thus Hickenlooper saluted Bob, the past president of the Colorado Medical Society, who also had been active in such professional and social organizations as the Denver Medical Society, the Denver Country Club, the University Club, and the Church of the Ascension. Bob also served as a life member of the American College of Physicians. Practicing internal medicine, he specialized in the treatment of diabetes.

Busy as this dedicated doctor was for many years, he found time to enjoy playing roles in theatrical productions of avid Denver thespians. Bob also found time to become known as a fine woodworker and an expert skier, hunter, and fisherman. Withal, his obituary in the Denver Post noted that he was an “impromptu poet.”

Bob’s death April 29, 2014, left his wife, Alice, and children Sally Bosworth Hensley, Robert, Patricia Bosworth Childs, Gordon, and David. To them all, ’46 sends its condolences, as well as its pride in this classmate’s life of accomplishment.
