It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of a much loved husband, father, grandfather, Robert William Pletsch. He passed away on Sunday, June 7 in the loving arms of his wife Lena, his son Alexander and daughter Stefani (Mark). He was the adored Dedo (grandfather) of Luka and Violet. He will be missed by so many including his brother-in-laws, Ted and Larry, and their families, his cousin Zivka and her family, and more friends and colleagues than we can count.

A special thank you to the staff at Cummer Lodge – 4 South for the exceptional care Bob was given.

Bob led an exceptional life. He was a teacher, a principal, and a Trustee in the North York Board of Education. He was also president of UNICEF Canada, an education consultant, and a member of a myriad Toronto city committees.

Visitation will take place on Friday, June 12, 2026 at York Cemetery (160 Beecroft Rd., Toronto) at 2:00pm-8:00pm, service to be held at 5:00pm.

For those who wish, donations in memory of Bob, may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Toronto or to UNICEF Canada.
