ROBERT (BOB) H. MOHAMMED

Condolences & Memories (13 entries)

• Bob and Lena became my friends on a trip to California they took. A very gentle man - Bob and I talked about food we liked and golf we loved. He spoke of his family, how proud he was of his grandchildren, and how much Lena meant to him. I was very proud to call Bob my friend! - Posted by: Dennis Bethscheider (Friend) on: Mar 11, 2015

• I met Robert in Houston, TX, and thereafter in Galveston, we had a great time together and went fishing and caught a few. He always kept me in the loop with mails and I surely miss him. May the Almighty grant him Jannat (Heaven) and rest his soul in peace and comfort. Amen. - Posted by: Hamid Khan Adam (friend) on: Mar 10, 2015

• Our sincere condolences go out to the Mohammed family for the loss of Bob. We have known the family since in the seventies through a mutual friend and ever since we stayed in contact, until they moved from the Maples, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Bob was very good and kindhearted and always willing to lend a hand to who is in need. Bob will be greatly missed by us and his close friends. - Posted by: Harry and Moreen Katwaroo (Friend (Cosmos Sports Club)) on: Mar 08, 2015

• To Bob and all his family especially Alex, we are very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Everyone will miss his jokes and banter and the golf course will never be the same without him. It is wonderful that he was able to get back home for a visit and sadly it was to be his last trip. A loved one is a treasure of the heart and to lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself. But the love that Bob brought you...did not leave, for the essence of the soul lingers. It cannot escape your heart, for it has been there forever.

• I met Bob in 1965 at the International Data Processing Institute in Winnipeg, located on the second floor of the building on the corner of Portage Avenue and Kennedy Street. We became virtually instant friends and we spent a lot of time together outside of school. During that summer we went to Assiniboine Park on Saturday and Sunday afternoons to watch many of Bob's Trinidadian friends play Cricket. I also met Bob's brother Abu that summer who I believe was attending the University of Manitoba. Bob and I would spend hours talking about how we grew up and where we came from. Bob would tell me about the Trinidad Carnival and his family. We shared many laughs and good times together. Bob invited me to be his guest at a Gala Celebration of Trinidad and Tobago Independence Day. This was a tremendous experience for me and we had a great time. We kept in touch over the years and always enjoyed the small and few opportunities to get together or talk on the phone. I always enjoyed Bob's sense of humor and enjoyed many laughs he provided with his jokes. A most memorable time was when Val and I spent almost a week in Winnipeg and stayed with Bob and Lena at their home. Their hospitality was incredible and we got to try Trinidadian food that Lena prepared and Bob encouraged me to try his home made pepper sauce which nearly burned my lips off. But it was good. We met Bob's Mother and Father and we all went on a picnic together (I don't exactly remember where) with his Mom and Dad and Sherine, Khayoum and Tasha. We spent a day fishing at one of Bob's favourite spots and caught several "Silver Bass" (I think that is what they were). It was a great time. Three years later in Honour of Bob and Lena we named our daughter after Bob and Lena's oldest daughter Sherine. Some years later and a family change for me, Bob and Lena visited Judy and I in our Calgary home for a weekend in the late 1970's. Again we had a great time with them and their children. After that it was mostly meeting at layovers in airports and visits by telephone. Unfortunately, I was unable to meet Bob and Lena at an airport layover in Calgary recently. I was called out of town on business the day before, which I could not avoid and was unable to return to Calgary on the day they had the layover. I am so sad that I was unable to meet them on this day. Bob was a very special friend and I shall miss him very much. It is unfortunate that we ended up working and living in different cities. I dearly wish we could have spent more time together. I will sorely miss his 2 or 3 emails almost every day with funny stories and inspirational messages. Thank you for your friendship and the memories Bob. Your friend forever, Until we meet again, Larry. - Posted by: Larry & Judy Stockburger (Friends) on: Jan 20, 2015

• Our Sincere Condolences - Good memories of how Bob originally thought chasing a white ball around a field was the craziest thing someone could ever do & then he tried it & became one of us! He will be missed. Our thoughts & prayers are with the entire family. - Posted by: Dave & Joy Mintenko (Former co worker & acquaintance at Wyatt Rentals) on: Jan 20, 2015

• I send out my love and condolences to all of the family, especially to my sister on the passing of my brother-in-law Bobby. Having experienced the loss of my husband many years ago, I know it is not a feeling you will ever become accustomed to or truly accept. However you must hold dear the memories you cherish and although they will sometimes bring a tear they will help you remember his love will always be near. - Posted by: Elizabeth Ali (Sister in Law) on: Jan 19, 2015

• The full impact of my father's life on the people he touched continues to inspire me. The stories that have been shared while he was in hospital and since his passing reaffirms what a humble man he was. I don't know if we will ever be able to truly appreciate the sacrifice my parents made in bringing us to Winnipeg and being so far from their family and friends. We will do our best to make sure our children and grandchildren remember his legacy. - Posted by: Khayoum Mohammed (Son) on: Jan 19, 2015

• Deepest regrets and sadness on the passing of much loved, Uncle Bobby. I only met Uncle Bobby a few times but my impression of him was someone who cared deeply about the people around him, family and friends both. When I think about him I recall his gift of making us laugh. I was glad I had the chance to get to know him. He was a highly respected member of this family. God Bless You, Uncle Bobby, thinking of you all in WinnIpeg. - Posted by: June Hosein (Family) on: Jan 18, 2015

• One of the greatest things my dad did for me was the way he loved my mother. Their relationship was never perfect and they did not always agree with each other. My parents did not always have an easy life. They were a young couple with young children who left the comfort and security of their family, friends and life in Trinidad for a new culture, climate and foreign world for the betterment of themselves and their children. I saw my dad's strength in how gently he treated my mom. Together, their strength helped them to endure adversity. If grief is the price of love, I understand why my mother's grief is so profound Thanks, Dad for teaching me to keep looking until I found my life partner who loves me with the intensity of the way you loved my mom. Rest In Peace, Dad. We will take care of mom until she meets with you again, Love Sherine - Posted by: Sherine Zielke (Daughter) on: Jan 18, 2015

• He was a kind and gentle man who we appreciated to have long conversations with and a pleasure to have at family gatherings.. You will always be remembered. Rest in Peace Robert. Our hearts & Prayers are with the Mohammed family. - Posted by: Allan & Tetyana (Family Friends) on: Jan 17, 2015

• Please accept our sincere condolences on the recent passing of your beloved Bob. We met Bob several years ago prior to his retirement, while he was working at Wyatt Rentals. He would occasionally stop by our office, after his retirement and we enjoyed his visits and great sense of humour. He told us how much he was enjoying his retirement at the golf course on those beautiful summer days. There is no doubt he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Rest in Peace Bob. - Posted by: Carol Nadeau and Larry McPake (Friend and business acquaintance) on: Jan 17, 2015
