Robert John MacLeod, 57, of Howie Centre, passed away suddenly at home, Friday, May 13, 2011.
Left to mourn are his mother, Helen (Compton) MacLeod, Howie Centre; brother and best friend, Ken (Kelly) MacLeod, Sydney; sisters, Cynthia (Glenn) Cunningham and Janet (Stewart) Calder, both of Howie Centre; as well as nephews, Neil MacSween, Kyle and Keigan MacLeod, James Calder; and niece, Josie Calder.
Robert is also fondly remembered by good friends, Ron Hargest, Jake Beck and Scott Beck, all of Edmonton, where Robert lived and worked for a number of years before coming home to Cape Breton.
He was predeceased by his father, Donald Kenneth MacLeod, paternal grandparents, John and Josie MacLeod, and maternal grandparents, Fred and Annie Compton.
Robert was a quiet and gentle man who was fond of music, fishing and books, but particularly enjoyed spending time with his family, whether that meant helping his mother with her gardening and yardwork or lending a hand to his brothers and sisters whenever asked.
A lifelong Montreal Canadiens fan, Robert enjoyed following the success of his team over the years, especially on Saturday nights spent with much laughter in the company of his mother and brother.
Robert also had a deep interest in world politics and enjoyed keeping track of events in the Middle East.
A private family memorial service will take place at a later date.

Goodbye Robert, We’ll remember you always.
