In memory of

Robert Victor Whittaker

December 29, 1936 - September 24, 2021

Bob passed away September 24, 2021, much loved and sorely missed by his wife Frances, son John, step-daughters Amy and Lesley, and grandson Kieran. Bob had a long career at IBM and spent his summers first at Southampton and later at Pleasant Point on Sturgeon Lake. He was an enthusiastic rugby player at the Balmy Beach Canoe Club for many years, enjoying both the games and the beer-ups afterwards at the club. A private service will take place. Any charitable donations will be gratefully received by the Canadian Cancer Association and The Salvation Army.

We will miss Bob terribly, his wit and humour always brightened us up. I looked forward to his emails; always sharing something interesting about Southampton, or the "good ole days" or just a joke. He was one of the kindest people I knew and I loved visiting with Bob every time he came to the 'Breakers" ...or just to visit us in later years. Rest in peace Bob.

We knew Bob for the last 11 years as a neighbor and friend on Rose Street on Sturgeon Lake. He was a loving husband to Frances and grandfather to Kieran. He had a great relationship with Kieran and could been seen at the cottage talking and sharing his life experiences. Bob had a flair for writing and telling stories. We will miss seeing that black Mustang coming down Rose Street.

George and Lyn.
