Peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospice, London, on Friday, September 11, 2026, Bob passed away at the age of 75.

Born in Petrolia on May 14, 1951, Bob was active in sports from a young age and especially enjoyed hockey, going on to play junior hockey with the Collingwood Ship Builders. He later attended Western University in London, where he was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity and formed friendships and memories that remained an important part of his life.

Following graduation, Bob began a long career with Bank of Montreal in 1973. Over the years, his career took him through various branches in Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto before he transferred to the divisional office in downtown Toronto in 1980.

Bob also believed strongly in giving back to his community. In 1976, he became involved with Big Brothers in Peel, beginning what would become many years of dedicated service to the organization. He served as president of Big Brothers Peel in the early 1980s and later as a member of the national board of Big Brothers from 1986 to 1989.

Bob had a lifelong love of classic cars and was especially proud of his dream cars, a 1962 and a 1964 Chevrolet Impala 409. He was a dedicated member of many car clubs over the years, where his passion for cars also led to many lasting friendships.

Bob married Suzanne in February 1988, and together they welcomed their son Michael in November of that same year. Bob will be dearly missed by Suzanne, Michael, his two sisters, and his extended family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, his first wife Susan and his infant sister.

The family extends their heartfelt appreciation to the staff and volunteers at St. Joseph’s Hospice in London for the exceptional care, kindness and comfort shown to Bob throughout the final four months of his life.
