1933 ~ 2011

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our friend "Bob."

Robert Walter Magee of Kamloops passed away on Monday, January 24, 2011 at 77 years of age.

Bob was born on March 26, 1933 in Vancouver. He was raised there until he was 13 years old, at which time the family moved to Royston. Bob chose to work in Union Construction and was a 45 year member of the Construction and General Labourers Local Union 602, which later became 1611. He was proud of the many projects he worked on across B.C., some notable projects being the Mica Dam, parkades, Whistler Mountain, the overpasses on the Yellowhead and Coquihalla Highways, and the bears on the Port Mann Bridge! He was also a business agent for 10 years. Those who knew Bob would attest that he was a true blue, dedicated "Union Man."

Bob surely left his mark on the world and will be sadly missed by many, especially his two furry friends, Mickey and Minnie.

Rest well our Dear Friend, you are now free of the ravages of your illness.

Bob is survived by his brothers Norman (Gloria) and Alan, sisters Marilyn (Jack) Monk, Lynda (Bob) Fitzgerald, and many nieces, nephews, and their families.
His memory will also be cherished by his extended family, Trudy, his companion of 18 years, her children Bill (Sherri), Shelly (Ron), Pamela (Shayne) and Char, as well as in-laws and many friends. He was Papa to seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

He was predeceased by his parents Walter and Lena Magee.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Michaud and Marilyn at the Kidney Clinic for all your help. Also thanks to Dr. Sigalet and the wonderful staff of 6 North at Royal Inland Hospital for your exceptional care and understanding.

The family will have a Service of Remembrance for Bob on March 26, 2011, when the weather will provide safer travelling for all. More information will be announced later.
