It is with great sadness that the family of Robert George "Bob" Gill II announces his passing on Tuesday, December 21, 2021 at the age of 80. Robert was born June 11, 1941. He is predeceased by his parents Robert and Ruth, and his son Todd. Bob is survived by his wife Dianne, his sons Robert III (Cindy), Gregory (Joanne), and Brian, his grandchildren TJ, Makenzie, Krystal-Lynn, and Alex, his four great-grandchildren, his brother David (Sharon), his sister Barbara (Robert), and many nieces and nephews.
Bob was an active member of the St. Catharines Fire Department for 37 years, retiring as Platoon Chief. He was also a very active volunteer at the St. David's Lions Club. Bob was extremely proud of his work both as a firefighter and a volunteer. He thoroughly enjoyed driving his tractor around his property, and loved taking Makenzie to her soccer games, dance, piano and everything else. This is time together that she will miss.
