In loving memory of Robert “Bobby” Trottier – a man who spent his life embracing values of hard work, humor, and unwavering kindness. Born on Nov. 30, 1959, in Phoenix, Arizona, Bobby’s journey came to a peaceful close on June 5, 2024, in the same city where his story began.

His extends beyond his time as a Phelps Dodge Shovel Operator to touch the lives of many in the community.
Bobby’s passion for life extended beyond his work. An alumnus of Clifton High School from the class of 1979, he found joy in tinkering with automobiles, cheering on Arizona sports teams, following the thrilling races of NASCAR, and the Clifton Hill Climb. His vibrant personality meant that one could always count on him for a good laugh or a comforting presence.
