It is with great sadness that we lost an amazing husband and the best father to cancer on October 6th, 2012. He died in his wife's arms with his sons and family by his side.

He will be truly missed by all who loved him, especially our two sons, Ryan (Teresa) with grandchild Addison; Reid (Chelsye) with grandchildren (Kysia and Finn); his sister Joanne (Stan) of Langley, nieces Shari (Chris), great niece Amber/ Brooke, niece Denise (Kenh), great nephew Cole and many other nieces and nephews.

Robbie worked at Ponderosa Lodge for 35 years. After retirement he worked with his buddy Uly. Robbie's passion was "fishing" with his best fishing pals Dan, Gerry and Uly. A highlight of his life was the helicopter ride and fishing trip at copper mines with his sons.

We wish to express our deepest appreciation to our dearest friends who stood by our sides with support and love during Rob's illness. Appreciation also to Chris and staff at Pratt's Pharmacy, to Jim, Graham and staff of Shoppers Drug Mart in Valleyview, to our awesome doctors, Dr. Loland and Dr. Jonat, and staff, to Inspire Health, Dr. Schnurr and to the staff at Hospice.

A special thanks to my sister Darleen who has made numerous trips from Port Moody to support us. Another special thanks for Dan and Gerry who also made many trips and phoned daily to keep Robbie's spirits up.

Robbie, our hearts will be
together forever. Have fun
fishing with dad and Bruce.

A Celebration of Rob's life will be held in the banquet room at the Colombo Lodge, 814 Lorne St. on Saturday, October 27th, 2012 from 12:00-4:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Inspire Health, #123 - 565 Bernard Ave. Kelowna, B.C., V1Y 8R4 (www.inspirehealth.ca).
