Robert (Bob) passed away at the Jewish General Hospital on March 1. A former RCAF WWII Spitfire fighter pilot, he also flew the F-86 Sabre during the Korea War with the USAF. He was a devoted and loving husband to Kathleen Leslie and a cherished father to Janet (deceased) (Greg), Susan (Edward), and Robert (Suzanne). He was dearly loved by his nine grandchildren: Melissa, Charles, Anita (Antonio), Melanie, Robert-Julien, Kathleen, Vanessa, David, and Arianne. Bob is survived by his sister Vera (Irvine Little) and predeceased by his sister Marie and brother-in-law Leo Dery. Many nieces, nephews, and friends will miss him. His kindness and generosity will remain forever in our memories.
Our deepest gratitude is extended to the dedicated specialists, nurses and staff at the Jewish General Hospital and to our family doctor for their exceptional care.
