Beloved husband of Gail (nee Moore) of Mindemoya, cherished father of Lori (Dan) Maslakewycz of Sudbury and Natalie (Ray) St. Amour of Barrie.  Loving grandfather of Devyn (Aly) and Tyler (Morgan) of Sudbury and Jonathan St. Amour (Stephanie - nee Ledvinka) of North Bay.

Predeceased by siblings Bill (Esther), Evelyn (“Sue”) Descoteaux, Leonard (Jo-anne), Carol (George) Cooper (predeceased), Bryan (Joy), and Danny.

An individual of many interests and talents, Bob was a health and fitness enthusiast, and avid gardener who also relished a round of golf or casting a line on Lake Manitou, Manitoulin Island, where he and Gail happily relocated upon his retirement from Inco.

A loving husband and dedicated family man, Bob was genuinely interested in the lives of his daughters and grandsons. He was a true friend and mentor to us all. He will forever be dearly missed.
