This site is dedicated to the memory of Robert Bonsor.

Robert A.C. Bonsor passed away on December 12, 2010, in Kalispell, Montana, at the age of 47. He was born in London, England, on February 14, 1963, and his formative years were in Berkshire, England. Robert graduated from Eton College, England, in 1980 and the School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington D.C., in 1987. While at Georgetown, he was captain of the Georgetown Ski Team. As a long time resident of Northern Virginia including Haymarket, VA, he launched his own business in the ski travel industry and passionately skied throughout his years. His connection to skiing led Robert and his family to Kalispell in September 2009. He was a golf and ski member of Big Mountain Club in Whitefish, Montana. As a loving father, he spent countless hours with his family. He cherished his daughters and received great joy watching them become young ladies. Together, Robert and his wife, Kasandra (Kasey), of twenty-one years were inseparable and devoted themselves to the happiness of their children. He was preceded in death by his father, Michael Cosmo Bonsor. He is survived by his wife, Kasandra of Kalispell; his daughters, Arabella, Sabrina, Alexandra, and Annika, all of Kalispell; his mother, Anne Marie Wallenberg Bonsor of Holbrook, Suffolk, England; his sisters, Celia Pilkington of London, Charlotte Milln of Toulouse, France, Camilla Bonsor of London; and extended family and friends.

Thoughts

Robert was my classmate at Georgetown and a close friend and someone who I will always remember ( and as so many of our shared friends have commented over the years) won't and can't ever be forgotten. He was the highest and best value and 'entertainment per minute' person I have ever met. He was thoughtful, overly generous, caring and never short of a brilliant answer or quip to enliven as well as brighten my day. He had a hilarious way about him that saw light when things were darkest. He taught me to ride a motorcycle in the dealership parking lot when having gone with him to fix his motorcycle - I left the dealership with my own - Robert teaching me to handle then and there and escorting me back to Georgetown and then spending hours in the G-Town Parking Lot helping me learn to drive it. We travelled the country to watch the Hoyas together during their glory years and applied our war-paint together before the games. I even bought my first car - a black VW Scirocco - because Robert had one and it had too be the same. He set up his off-campus Georgetown flat with laser targets ( and set of guns for his guests) so we could imitate and play out the Miami Vice episodes and we affectionately called him Bon Johnson. No-one in those days was as cool and well-dressed as Robert and we all took his lead. We shared fabulous times together at University and I must have bought one-hundred+ records from the store he worked in off-campus and we religiously popped by every night he was working and he always had a music related answer - he was English after all. Robert loved his skiing and because of his infectiousness and very considerable ability on skis meant we all, logically, had to ski under his Captaincy for the University and he was responsible for planning the best weekends I experienced during my college years. Robert was fiercely loyal and always there for his friends in way that no-one could be and his personality was such that even during the most difficult moments he would leave his audience laughing and re-charged. As I write this note here at my City desk in London I wanted to share that I still tell some of the unforgettable stories of times shared with Robert. Not sure how to finish but to say he will always be part of my DNA and was a life shaping person during my college years and that he will stay with me forever.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic news of Robert’s passing. I skied with Robert at Georgetown and have lost touch with him over the years. I ran into a friend, Cady Wolf at an event recently in Mill Valley, CA and we made the connection to Robert and the Ski Team. She shared the sad news with me and I wanted to send my deepest condolences to his lovely wife, beautiful daughters, family and friends. The days of endless drives, fun-filled icy racing, amazing apres-ski, dinner parties at 3615 Prospect with Teresa and Arianne and nights at The Tombs will always be some of my fondest college memories. Cheers to Robert!

I remember like it was just yesterday that me and my dad were going golfing together or skiing together. Or just plain arguing with each other. But I will always love him. When I am skiing down trails, I can still hear him telling me to slow down and watch more carefully for people passing by. -Ali Bonsor, Daughter of Robert
