We remember Bob Daggit ....Lake Vermilion
and the Sportsmen's Club lost a very good friend on March 24th, 1998 when Bob Daggit
passed away. Bob had battled a myriad of medical problems for many years, armed with a
strong positive attitude and nurtured by the loving care of his wife Virginia.
Inquiries about his health would always elicit a forceful "fantastic" from Bob,
and it was truly inspiring just to be around him and experience the infectious quality
of his drive and optimism.
Bob was a member of the Sportsmen's Club from the time he and Virginia moved to Birch
Point in 1974. He was an active and productive member of the Club's Board of Directors for
many years and ably served as the Club's President from 1983 to 1986. He spent countless
hours as a volunteer - at the hatchery, on the loon census, with the marker buoys and
navigation lights. But the contribution he made that we remember most vividly was the
tireless leadership he provided for the Club's efforts to influence the funding of a
new wastewater treatment plant for Tower-Soudan. Construction of that plant was finally
funded and begun in 1986, ending years of lake contamination.
We extend our sincere sympathy to Virginia, to sons Bob and Joe Daggit and to the
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. And we thank Virginia and the family for
designating the Sportsmen's Club as a recipient of memorial tributes to Bob. Paula Bloczunski, President Sportsmen's Club of Lake Vermilion |
