Memorial Set for Robert Lee Bonaparte

A memorial service has been scheduled for Jan. 25 in Portland, Ore., for Robert Lee Bonaparte, a retired vice president of Boise Cascade Corp. and one of the principal investors when the Schramsberg Vineyards in Calistoga were revitalized in 1965.

Bonaparte, who was 67 when he died Dec. 22 of heart failure at his Portland home, was a specialist in marketing newsprint. He joined Boise Cascade in 1963 and retired in 1987.

In 1965, when Jack and Jamie Davies took over the dormant Napa Valley vineyards--founded by Jacob Schram in 1862--Bonaparte helped capitalize the endeavor and also helped introduce a domestic champagne.

Bonaparte is survived by his wife, Janet, four children, three grandchildren and a brother.
