Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryROBERT (BOB) ALBERT FAREBROTHER On January 15, 2012 Robert (Bob) Albert Farebrother, aged 88, passed away at Grace Hospital. Bob was predeceased by Ethel, his beloved wife of 65 years, and leaves to cherish his memory, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and countless friends. Bob spent his working life at Kimberly Clark, first in his hometown of Niagara Falls where he met his wife Ethel and then in Winnipeg. His free time was spent with family and friends, both at home and for many summers at Falcon Lake. He was a founding and faithful member of St. Bede's Anglican Church, serving as a sides man, vestry member and spent many years making sure the Easter garden got put up and taken down. He was loved and respected for his loyalty, honesty, genuine warm nature and devotion to his wife Ethel. The family extends grateful thanks to the many Homecare workers, staff members of Oakview Personal Care Home and Grace Hospital for their thoughtful care of Bob during his last years. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. A memorial service will be held at the Church of St. Stephen and St. Bede on February 3, 2012 at 11:00 a.m., 99 Turner Avenue (at Mount Royal Road). Bob's family gratefully declines flowers.

Rest in Peace Mr Farebrother. My memories of you will always be ones that bring a smile to my face! You were a great neighbor to Mom and Dad and I will always remember you and Mrs Farebrother coming by to visit on Boxing Day. You always had a warm smile and a friendly wave whenever I drove by and you were outside tending to your yard. Bless you........Sheree, Bill, Ryan and Olivia Hanysh - Posted by: Sheree Hanysh (Leone) (Neighbor) on: Jan 30, 2012

I started working at K.C. in 1966 and Bob was my foreman, I found him to be a very fair and kind man. My friend Florence and I drove from Selkirk, Mb. together for 7 years and we never had a negative word about Bob.He also had a great laugh, when we would share a joke with him.I often think about K.C. and the people I worked with and Bob was one of the best! - Posted by: Brenda Clarke (Worked at Kimberely-Clark) on: Jan 28, 2012
