Robert "Bob" Wayne Perchetti, 86, passed away peacefully at his home in Pahrump on the morning of October 28, 2024. He was born at the Miner's Hospital in Tonopah on July 21, 1938. Preceding him in death were his parents, Anthony Henry and Catherine "Minnie" Perchetti, and an infant son, Robert Anthony Perchetti. Bob is survived by his siblings Anthony "Buddy" Perchetti (Diane), Rita Carpenter (Steve), and Nicolas "Nick" Perchetti (Annie). He is also survived by his children: Arne Fuglvog (Celes), Kristine Perchetti (Alex), Robert "Bryan" Perchetti (Tansy), Michael Perchetti (Tina), Toni Wombaker (Tim), Antoinette Wilkes (Miles), Melissa Godfrey (Kelsey), and Brittany Marich (Seth); 16 grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Bob was also loved by many nieces and nephews-- too many to add.
"Mr. Tonopah" or the "Tonopah Kid," as many called him, graduated from Tonopah in 1956 and served as Student Body President. Bob was very athletic and was recognized statewide as a stand-out basketball star. One of his most cherished high school memories was being a member of the team that won the 1954 Nevada State Basketball Championship. He also excelled at track, breaking the state record in the mile for Tonopah High School in 1955 with a time of 4:58. This record held for 26 years until his son, Bryan, broke it! After high school Bob attended UNR, where he played both freshman and varsity basketball and ran track. Bob joined the Sigma Nu Fraternity under the advice and guidance of Judge William Beko, which cemented their close relationship as lifelong friends.
After college, Bob moved back to Tonopah and his life as "Mr. Tonopah" began. Bob was committed to getting Tonopah noticed and on the map. He was a member of the Nevada Commission on Tourism and traveled the world representing Tonopah and Nevada, during which time he was also the director of the Tonopah Convention Center. He was a committed, 55-year member of Tonopah Rotary and the recipient of Rotary's prestigious Paul Harris Fellowship and the Quiet Rotarian awards. He was a founding member of Tonopah Development Corporation (now Tonopah Main Street) and was a member of both the Tonopah Elks Lodge and Tonopah Lodge #28 F&AM. Bob was the creator of the town's annual Jim Butler Days celebration and never missed a single event during its 53-year history. Because of his diligence, Tonopah was selected as the home of the Nevada State Mining Championships, which has become an anchor event for Jim Butler Days.
In 1993, Bob retired from his county position at the Tonopah Convention Center. In his retirement, he filled his time with many business ventures. These ranged from buying and selling "treasures" in The Hock Shop, his flea market, or furniture store, managing rentals along with buying and selling properties, but most of his time was consumed with owning and running The Clown Motel for 23 years. The Clown Motel was another avenue that brought publicity to the town of Tonopah as Bob continued to support the development, growth and recognition of not only Tonopah, but the many wonderful aspects of Central Nevada.
Bob loved the game of golf and enjoyed golfing into his later years. He was the founder of the annual Bill Beko golf tournament scholarship in Death Valley, which he retired as chairman 10 years ago. He spent many of his last days watching golf on television. Bob was an avid and spontaneous outdoorsman who loved to hunt, fish, and enjoy the rugged beauty of Central Nevada. He never saw a deer, elk, bighorn sheep, sage hen, chukar, or fish he didn't want to harvest and mount on his wall. The stories he would tell, typically of hunting and fishing, provided many hours of enjoyment for his friends and family. The hunting and fishing memories Bob made with his sons, brothers, and friends in the backcountry of Central Nevada were the memories he held most dear to him.
Tonopah has and always will be home to Bob. Medical issues forced him to relocate to Pahrump to live with his daughter, Toni, and her family. However, that relocation could never replace Tonopah, which was always first on his mind and in his heart. His friends teased him, saying "If we cut your arm, you would bleed little &apos'T's.'" Bob truly loved his community, its history, and its people.
Bob was such a charismatic and social person, he loved a great gathering or party so stories and laughter could be shared. Please join us to honor his memory as we gather together to celebrate the life of this great man at 1:00 PM on Saturday, November 9, 2024, at the Tonopah Convention Center. A graveside service and reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations in Bob's memory can be made to the Tonopah Rotary Club, which will go directly back into the town he so dearly loved.

Here, Frank discovered a love for the vibrant casino scene, where he enjoyed the thrill of gaming and the camaraderie that came with it. His infectious laughter and bright smile made him a beloved figure at the gaming tables, and you could often find him drinking his signature martini at the bar.

Robert Wesley Glenn Sr. of Pahrump, NV was born on October 6th, 1964, in Fairview Park, Ohio and sadly left us on February 5th, 2024. He is reunited with his parents, who preceded him in death, Robert P. Glenn and Catherine Louise Glenn.
He is survived by his loving son, Robert W Glenn Jr., his sister, Debra K Glenn, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He has also left behind many friends scattered across the country.
Most who knew Bobby loved him. His favorite hobby was fishing, both fresh water and salt water. Every summer, a group would meet up in Panguitch, Utah for a week's long fishing trip, which he looked forward to all year. He and his son were planning an ocean trip for this spring, which he was also excited about.
His next favorite pastime was watching professional sports and cheering for his favorite hometown teams. To say he was a die-hard Browns and Indians (now Guardians) fan is an understatement. He enjoyed going to the games when he could with family and friends.
He recently took on a couple of pups, Sunka and Bernie (Kosar), which he also loved dearly and who will remain with the family.
Our time with him was cut short, but we will remember and honor his legacy. He will be truly missed by all.
Always in our hearts.

In Loving Memory of Rosemary Augusta Molette (June 6, 1935 - January 28, 2024)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rosemary Augusta Molette, a cherished
member of the Pahrump community, who departed this world on January 28, 2024, surrounded
by her family. Born on June 6, 1935, in Quincy, Illinois, Rosemary's journey led her from the
heartland to the scenic Central Coast of California in 1950.
During her courageous move to the Central Coast, she found a welcoming home with her
brother Virgil Willing and his wife Betty. A devoted sister, she took on the role of caregiver for
Virgil's two small children while attending Arroyo Grande High School. Rosemary's commitment
to family and her ability to balance the responsibilities of school and caregiving reflected her
strong character and determination.
It was during her time at Arroyo Grande High School that Rosemary's path intersected with that
of her life partner, Frank Molette. Their love story began in 1953, and the bond they shared
blossomed into a beautiful union when they exchanged vows in May 1954. Together, Rosemary
and Frank embarked on a journey of love, companionship, and shared dreams.
Rosemary's heart was as vast as the Central Coast's breathtaking landscapes. Her nurturing
spirit continued to shine as she and Frank built a life together. As a devoted wife and mother,
Rosemary created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and love. Her culinary talents, honed
since her early years, made family gatherings and holidays particularly special, leaving a lasting
impression on all who were fortunate enough to partake in her delicious creations.
Rosemary's nimble fingers and creative spirit made her an avid seamstress, weaving threads of
love into every fabric she touched. Her artistic endeavors adorned her family and friends with
handmade treasures that will be cherished for generations to come. Through the stitches of her
craft, Rosemary left an enduring legacy of love and care.
Her commitment to community service was reflected in her active roles within the Pismo Moose
Lodge and the Oceano Elks Lodge. Rosemary held several offices and tirelessly contributed to
various fundraisers, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and philanthropy. Her dedication to
these organizations not only left an impact on the local community but also exemplified her
generous nature.
In April 2000, Rosemary and Frank embraced a new chapter of their lives as they made
Pahrump their home. Here, Rosemary discovered a love for the vibrant casino scene, where
she enjoyed the thrill of gaming and the camaraderie that came with it. Rosemary's community
involvement extended to the Pahrump Moose Lodge, where she actively participated in various
activities and events. Her infectious laughter and bright spirit made her a beloved figure at the
gaming tables, creating lasting friendships with fellow enthusiasts.
As Rosemary Molette's earthly journey comes to an end, her spirit lives on in the hearts of her 5
children, 13 grandchildren, and 16+ great-grandchildren. She is survived by her children, John E
Molette, Rhonda L Tigue (Patrick Tigue), Rodney Molette, and Martin Molette. May her soul find
eternal peace, and may her family find comfort in the love and memories they shared. Pahrump
has lost a beloved resident, but the legacy of Rosemary's joyous spirit will endure in the hearts
of those who had the privilege of knowing her.
