In Memoriam...Bob  Lubinger

Our Association has lost another friend...

Robert "Bob" Lubinger, a member of the Broward Chapter since  August of 1995, passed away peacefully on August 2nd 2009, after battling pancreatic  cancer.

Bob owned Centurion Financial in Coral Springs and later transitioned into wholesale lending.  Bob, who was the Broward Chapter's  perennial Sergeant at Arms, was an avid supporter of both the State Association  and the Broward Chapter.  He was always prepared to give up his time to lend a  hand whenever and wherever needed.  Bob was awarded the Broward Chapter  "Lifetime Achievement Award", the FAMB Meritorious Service Award in 2008, served as the chairman of the State Lenders and Affiliates Committee and always  promoted his chapter and state functions.  He and his team were regular  exhibitors at every tradeshow in the state.  Thanks to Bob's financial efforts  as an Affiliate Sponsor, the FAMB Education Foundation was able to defray its cost of providing quality education to mortgage professionals across the state.

Bob was actively engaged in the Boy Scouts of America as a Troop Leader.  His troop in Margate held records for producing Eagle Scouts.  Bob was  a fixture at the Eagle Court of Honor for his boys and took great pride in their  achievements.  He helped many boys become fine young men.  His influence on these young people is a fitting legacy for a man who did not take any task  lightly.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 7th from 5:00 to 8:00PM at Kraeer Funeral Home at 1655 N University Dr., Coral Springs, FL33071.

The family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be  made to Hospice by the Sea at 1531 W. Palmetto Park Road, Boca Raton, FL 33486, or by visiting their website at www.hbts.org
