Robert E. Saute, Obituary
August 1929 - March 2019
We belatedly announce the passing of Dr. Robert Saute, one of our original BIW Charter Members and a “Founding Father” of Beauty Industry West and a member of the original formation Board. Bob passed away on March 2, 2019 in Granada Hills after a valiant battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He is survived by his wife Arda, also a BIW Charter Member who, along with Bob, functioned as our Awards Chairs on the Board of Directors for more than 23 years.
Bob undertook the enormous task of defining and expressing the principles and values behind our organization and prepared BIW’s original Articles, Charter and By-Laws which he published with the Secretary of State in 1990, and subsequently revised ten years later.
