Bob Chilton

  It is with deep sadness that the United States Croquet Association (USCA) 
& the Croquet Foundation of America (CFA) announce the passing of former 
USCA member since 1996, CFA Board and Hall of Fame member 
(Bob) James Edward Robert Chilton III.

  His death resulted from injuries sustained in a tragic car accident Sunday 
evening. The accident occurred on his drive home following an American Rules 
game at the National Croquet Center - his favorite game at his favorite 
location. 
  Bob's wife Missy has requested no calls for now while she deals with the immediate impact of her loss.

 
  Bob provided substantial funds during construction of the National Croquet Center, 
and continued to be a major supporter and proponent of the American Six Wicket Croquet 
game, including recently funding a USCA grant to support instructors who travel 
to croquet clubs nationwide to teach the American Rules game. He was a member 
of the National Croquet Club, The Beach Club, & Westhampton Mallet Club.

 
Bob's obituary and funeral arrangements will be notified when available.
Rest in Peace Bob
