ROBERT
“BOB” JOHN GAIR
It is with great sadness the family of Bob
Gair announces his passing on Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at the age of 73
years. Bob was born on April 4, 1941 and made Winnipeg his home for over
six decades.
Left to forever remember Bob are his loving
wife of 48 years, Dorothy; children: Shannon, Shelley (Tony), and Stacey Helen;
three grandsons: James, Robbie and Declan; brothers: Bill, Dave, Cameron, Alec
and Gregg; sisters: Cathie and Pam; a large extended family and a great many
friends. He was predeceased by brothers Johnny and Brad; sister Patricia;
and parents Patrick and Pearl Gair.
Bob owned and operated Artistic Creations and
Flag City with his brother Johnny for over 40 years, during which time he
forged many lasting relationships within the business community. His
personality could fill a room of its own, and his reputation as a charismatic
dealmaker will be remembered by many.
As a member of the Optimist Club of
Assiniboia for many years, Bob served as its President from 1984-85.
During those years he made great friendships enduring to this day and received
numerous awards for his service to the community.
Bob enjoyed curling, golf, listening to
Leonard Cohen, plotting new adventures, landscaping and travelling. He thought
cruises were the perfect holiday and embarked on 17 such voyages with his wife
and friends.
“Bobby”, as he was called by his grandsons,
was a wonderful grandfather, always creating new games to play, jobs for them
to do and was easy with the treats. He was much loved and will be greatly
missed by the little guys.
