Industry
Mourns the Passing of a Pioneer
|
|
 Robert
W. McConkey, Sr., past president of the National Auto Auction
Association, passed away on May 23, 2009, in Livingston, MT.. He is the father of current NAAA President, ServNet Chairman,
and DAA Northwest owner Robert McConkey, Jr. He owned the South Seattle Auto Auction for
34 years.
An
auto auction industry pioneer, he served as president of the National
Auto Auction Association in 1976-77. In 1997, McConkey moved to
Livingston for the hunting and fishing, and for a lifestyle closer to
his roots in Canada. Always determined and persistent, he worked as a
sales representative for DAA Northwest, his son Bob, Jr.'s auto auction
in Spokane, traveling the state of Montana and bringing a chuckle and a
smile to all of his car dealer friends. He will be greatly missed by all
who knew him. |
