2017 November PASO Magazine

“I would like to thank and honor Bob
Chute for his 16 years and the owner and
publisher of PASO Magazine. His efforts
have played a large part in building the
great reputation of North San Luis Obispo
County and the City of Paso Robles. Bob’s
experience and vision as read on the pages
of Paso Magazine truly define who we are
as a community.”
1 st District Supervisor
John Peschong
“We owe Bob our deep gratitude for delivering
North County news to our homes
over the last 16 years through PASO Magazine.
Thank you for highlighting the people,
programs and events that make our County
so special. I wish Bob and Rho the best as
they begin their retirement adventures.”
5 th District Supervisor

“Over the many years of public service,
I was always appreciative of the manner in
which Bob’s magazine treated folks. His
magazine was respectful, uplifting and always
positive. I continue to look for it and
wish Bob all the best in his retirement. It’s
great!!”
Frank Mecham
“Bob – Thank you! Your passion for Paso
news will be greatly missed, but not forgotten.
PASO Magazine always found a way
into the homes, businesses and lives of Paso
Roblans. You ran it well - full of information,
interesting features and diverse subjects – always
keeping us informed. Thanks for all the
features about our people, schools, local community
events and especially the Paderewski
Festival. You helped make PASO Magazine
a staple here for the locals with the right
amount of small town charm - thank you.
Wishing you the best.”
Joel Peterson
“Bob, congratulations on a wonderful
career in journalism and service to Paso
Robles and the north county. It has been
a great partnership working with you at
the Overhead Door Company Co. level
of business for the past 30+ years and as a
City Councilman through all the important
City issues and political campaigns you
have helped me to solve with our public’s
input. Well Done!”
John and Marjorie Hamon,
Hamon Overhead Door
“I would like to thank Bob for all he
has done for the community; truly a good
neighbor in his volunteer work as well as
the publisher of the PASO Magazine. I
worked with Bob when he spearheaded
the effort to bring the Boys & Girls Club
to Paso. He was a visionary for our youth
and the entire community.
Bob has also been such a great asset
to our community as the publisher of the
magazine. He always sought to make the
magazine available to help publicize the
work of our community non-profits, and
supported their work and fundraising efforts.
He has been fair and balanced in
reporting of the town events and issues. I
wish him and Rhoda all the best!”
Field Gibson, School Board
“I appreciate Bob Chute’s unbiased reporting.
As a retailer the PASO Magazine
was very helpful in promoting my business.
Serving as Mayor and on the City Council,
Bob would ask me questions to clarify my
response to be certain he had interpreted
correctly. That is something many journalists
often forget or don’t ask. It’s been my pleasure
knowing Bob and appreciating him as
an active part of our community.”
Duane Picanco,
Former Mayor City Councilman
“Congratulations on 16 successful years
as our own town crier. You kept us informed,
educated, motivated and sing our
praises every month in the PASO Magazine.
You have been a mainstay in my house
for the last decade and half. It arrives and
then quickly read through once, and then
a second time and then saved. I can’t tell
you how many times I pull it out to find
a company to do business with. You can
retire knowing that you built a legacy that
will continue and not everyone can say that.
I wish you and Rho lots of idle days to just
enjoy this wonderful community that you
have helped chronicle.”
Dee Lacey
“Thank you for reporting the good and
happy news in our wonderful Paso Robles.
Everything positive that has happened in
our community over the past 35 or so years
found its way to your pages. All that time,
you ensured the success of fundraisers, festivals,
service organizations, local government,
schools and nonprofits by your unfaltering
support and coverage. It has been so fun to
celebrate all of us…as presented by you. All
the best always!”
Barbara Partridge
“Thank you for your many years of service
to our great community.”
Dennis & Diane Cassidy
“Thank you for the honor of allowing
me to know Paso and the local area by writing
about our people and history since issue
#1.”
Chuck Desmond
“Bob, thanks for believing I could do this
job...even when I was sure I couldn’t. It was
a pleasure learning it all from you and being
a part of PASO Magazine for the past 15
years.”
Pam Osborn
“Your dedication to our community has
inspired me and so many others. I treasure
my connection with my community because
of you and PASO Magazine.”
Millie Drum
“Thank you, Bob, for giving me the opportunity.
I’ve loved working for and with
you these past 10 years. I wish you an adventure
filled, stress free, lounge around retirement!”
Jamie Self
“Thank you, Bob, for your infectious humor
and ever-present positivity, even under
pressure. You had faith everything would
work out, and it always did.”
Denise McLean
“The equine community (and others)
don’t realize the commitment Bob has
made to others especially without knowing
horses. Words pale, but experiences bloom
brightly for the community which helps
the local economy, kids and all those who
participate. We are blessed and pass those
blessings on to Bob and Rhoda.”
Dorothy Rodgers
“PASO Magazine has been your labor
of love since day one. Bob, you have
demonstrated commitment, grit and an
abiding belief that Paso Robles deserves an
independent media source that resonates
with our readers. You’ve not conceived
something for yourself alone, but an enduring
love letter to the community. From the
bottom of my heart, thank you for allowing
me to take part in it with you. May you and
your family be lavishly blessed in all things!”
Melissa Chavez
“Dearest Bob, for all you have done
and continue to do for our wonderful Paso
Robles community, I say THANK YOU!
From the moment you invited me to write
for your magazine, I have learned what it is
like to work with and for a humble, giving,
