He was an active member of the Cache Valley Community and there are few people in the Valley whose lives he did not touch. He was active in his church, in scouting and conservation his entire life. After retirement Bob and Esther traveled extensively visiting their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, but he was always happiest in his beloved Valley home.

He spent his first days, best days and his last days in Logan Canyon. The history of Logan Canyon is the history of Bob Rust.
