Robert was the son of the late Frank and Evelyn (Daigle) Nadeau.

Robert was predeceased by his beloved wife Dianne (Stewart), his in-laws Menzie and Jean Stewart; brother Alvin; and brother-in-law Rino Morin.
Robert spent his youth in his hometown of Saint John, New Brunswick before moving to Halifax as a young man to attend Saint Mary's University. He remained in the city after receiving his teaching degree and accepting a position at the former St. Patrick's High School. Bob, as he was known to his many friends and co-workers, remained at St. Pat's for his entire thirty-three-year career where he was a well-known teacher, registrar and administrator. Among the many hats Bob wore during his time at St. Pat's, he took the most pride in his role as Producer of the school's many musical theatre productions. An avid bowler, Bob was a fixture at the Wednesday night teachers bowling league for many years. He also had a tremendous love for woodworking and home improvement and was happy to spend hours in his basement workshop or working around the house on a renovation project. Bob was a loyal, generous, hard-working man as well as a loving husband and caring father. He was as quick to offer anyone a smile, a joke and a helping hand whenever he was needed. He is already greatly missed by all who knew him.
At Robert's request he has been cremated and there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the United Way of Halifax or a charity of your choice in memory of Bob. Many thanks to the doctors and nurses of the Halifax Infirmary for the care and assistance they provided to Robert in recent years.
