July 19, 1943 - February 10, 2025
In loving memory ~
Bob was born on July 19th 1943 in Grand Forks, B.C. and passed away peacefully on February 10th 2025 in Grand Forks, B.C. at the age of 81.
Bob will be greatly missed by his sister Mary Lou, his niece Charite, and by many other family members and friends.
Bob was raised in Grand Forks and after graduating grade 13, he attended University of British Columbia where he achieved a Bachelor of Education degree. He began his teaching career in several different elementary and high schools within the province. His last teaching position was at Grand Forks Secondary School. Bob thoroughly loved teaching.
In his earlier years, Bob also worked for the B.C. Forestry Service during summer break.
Bob loved animals and nature. He was always known to take in stray animals and feed them (even though has wasn't always supposed to).
One of Bob's favourite places was Christina Lake. He spent a great deal of time there as it was so peaceful and there was a lot of wildlife around.
Rest in peace Bob.
A sincere thank you to the neighbours that graciously helped in so many ways, and the nursing staff at Hardy View Lodge.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the BCSPCA in Bob's memory.
