CLEARY, ROBERT
It is with tremendous sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Robert “Bob” Wayne Cleary, husband of Linda Cleary which occurred at his residence on Wednesday, August 26th , 2015 with his loving family by his side. He was born on October 21st, 1959 in Halifax, Nova Scotia to the late Catherine (Gray) and Robert John Cleary.
Bob was a truly devoted and loving husband, father and friend. Bob worked from a very young age and more recently, up until his health led to early retirement, worked as a Truck Driver with Maritime Moving and Storage. He enjoyed making things out of plastic canvas and collecting model cars, trucks and collectibles. Bob was a very old fashioned man, he was always the one to say what was on his mind. Bob enjoyed listening to Stompin’ Tom Connors, especially the Hockey Song. Whenever he had the chance you would always find him cleaning his truck.
