ROBERT VICTOR NALDRETT (1926 - 2006) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Naldrett on August 15, 2006, after a brief but valiant struggle with cancer; he was 80 years young. Bob was predeceased by his father Jack, mother Edith, brother John and sisters Doris and Margaret and granddaughter Kerry Mazur. Surviving Bob are his loving wife Pat of 56 years; daughter Susan (Brian Mazur) and their children, Corey (Suzanne Little) and Samara; son Glenn (Audrey) and children Sean and Trevor (Laura) and great-granddaughter McKenzie McGarry-Naldrett; sisters May Hendry, Daisy Schultz and Joyce Rapchuk. Bob was well known to his family, friends and neighbours as a Handy Man's Handy Man. Having served his country during the Second World War in the RCNVR, then peacetime service with the RCAF, Bob continued in public service as a dedicated Letter Carrier for Canada Post until his retirement in 1986. Throughout his retirement Bob continued an active membership with the Royal Canadian Legion, enjoyed quality time in his workshop, outings and reminiscing with his grandchildren and quiet times in his backyard flower and vegetable gardens where he and Pat spent countless hours. In 2004 Bob relocated to Winnipeg with Pat to be closer to their children and grandchildren - these past two years, though short, have been filled with sterling times and golden memories - enough to last a lifetime. Special thanks go out to Dr. Brent Zabolotny for his care and compassion and the Grace Hospital staff on 4 South, especially to nurses Karen and Susan for their outstanding commitment to Bob in his final days and endless compassion for his family. Cremation and a private family interment to place Bob in his final resting place have been completed by Chapel Lawn Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations in Bob's memory to the Canadian Cancer Society or to a charity of one's choice. Nothing loved is ever lost...
