He was predeceased by his parents, William and Irene Perkins; son, Michael; brothers-in-law, David Palmer and Andy Bereza.
Bob worked at the Liquor Commission, and later at MPI from where he retired in 2002. He was an avid outdoorsman. He loved hunting, fishing and building things. Later when Bob was unable, he spent his days puttering in the garage.
Bob was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in his 30s. The disease, with time, ravaged his body. He suffered with many ailments and is now at peace.
As per Bob's wishes, a family gathering will take place in the early summer.

My condolences to your family. Growing up, I went to school with Mike and my family had a restaurant on Pembina called Pearl City. The Perkins family often ordered from us and Bob or other family members would come by for pick up. Wishing you all the best, my thoughts are with you all.

I remember Bobbi from 1966-7 when as a homesick country cousin, I went to their home on weekends and Sharon Wayne and Bob were very kind. I always considered their Mother an aunt. Sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. - Posted by: Valerie Stimpson (Cousin ) on: Apr 21, 2020
