It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) on December 13th, 2024 at the age of 83. He leaves behind his beloved wife Anna (nee Bruinsma) of almost 61 years, his daughters Lori (Gord) Shelton, Kim Leppard (predeceased by Sandy), Lindy Leppard and five adoring grandchildren Kyle, Jessica (Pierce), Gregory (Paige), David and Katelyn, and 1 great grandchild Aaron. Also left to mourn his passing are his Aunt Christina Hoffmeyer of Goderich and many brothers and sisters in law, nieces and nephews and cousins. He is predeceased by his parents Roy (Lindy) and Helen, and sister Dianna (Mannie). His family was most important in his life. Bob was employed at General Motors for 34 years as a salvage welder retiring in 1993. He was a self taught Mr-fix-it with a remarkable talent for working with his hands. There wasn't anything he couldn't fix or anything he couldn't build. As per Roberts wishes there will be no visitation or funeral service. In lieu of flowers the family kindly asks that you honour Bobs memory by performing a kind gesture for someone in need, just as he often did throughout his life. Love you forever and always xo.
