ROBERT JOSEPH LYON November 15, 1939 - September 24, 2010 Bob passed away peacefully at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary after a short battle with cancer. He is survived by his spouse of 43 years, Adina, his three children, Garth (Kari), Derek (Marnie) and Janet (Martin), and his nieces and nephews, Cecil, Debra and Pamela. He was the proud grandfather of Nathan, Alex, Baily, Kirsten, Linnea, Jena and twins, Isla and Clare. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Bob moved to Calgary with Adina in 1969 but never forgot his roots in Winnipeg. He was a real family man and a valued resident and volunteer of his community. He had a passion for curling, golf and the lake where he recently completed construction of a home near the family cottage he so cherished since his own youth. Bob's kindness and smile will be missed by all those who knew him. A Celebration of Bob's Life will be held at Huntington Hills Community Association Curling Club, 520 78th Avenue, Calgary, on Friday, October 1 at 1:00 p.m. If friends so desire, please consider making a donation in Robert's memory to a charity of your choice and help continue his work in making this world a better place.
