Robert (Bob) Vatcher, beloved husband and father, came to the end of his earthly journey on January 16, 2017 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown, P.E.I..

Bob and Eunice retired to P.E.I in 1990, building their retirement home on the property that had once hosted a farm homestead they had used as their summer home for 20 happy years previous. They spent many years on what they lovingly referred to as "The Farm", hosting friends and family alike.
