ROBERT WILLIAM DONALD
Peacefully
at home in Winnipeg on Friday, September 20, 2013 Bob died at the age of 73
years.
Left
to mourn Bob’s memory are his wife Joanne (nee Price); son David (Karen);
brothers David (Margaret) and Doug (Pam); sister Susan (Danny); grandchildren
Trevor and Clayton; nephew Derek; and nieces Teslin, Rena, Monica and
Laura. He was predeceased by his parents
Charles and Monica (nee Beaumont); and niece Susanna.
Bob
was born in Flin Flon, MB. He came to Winnipeg in 1960 to study
drafting at M.I.T. and met the love of his life Joanne. He made a career with the City of Winnipeg where he worked
diligently for 30 years. His greatest
enjoyment in retirement came from spending time outdoors, visiting Fort Whyte
Centre or Assiniboine
Park , and reading up on
the world’s most recent archeological discoveries.
Throughout
his life, Bob always faced health issues with a dogged determination and
limitless sense of humour. He was a loyal and loving husband, father and
grandfather who never had an unkind word and always had a joke ready to make
others laugh. He so appreciated the love
and support of family and friends during this most recent struggle.
As
were Bob’s wishes, a small family gathering will be held at Interment.
The
family would like to thank staff of St. Boniface Hospital Family Medical
Centre, Palliative Care, and WRHA Home Care.
In
lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Fort Whyte Alive or Assiniboine Park
Conservancy if so desired.
