ROBERT GRANT ARDIES Robert Grant (Bob) Ardies, born June 1, 1930, passed away peacefully in his sleep, Monday, November 21, 2016 at the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission, BC. Bob was surrounded by family as his long struggles with failing health came to a close and he joined his saviour for eternity. Bob is survived by his beloved wife Rose, his children Bob, Murray and Patty, Rick and Sheila, Kelly and Don, and Patrick, as well as 10 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Bob was born and raised in Winnipeg where he worked at Emco Supply for 39 years. He and Rose moved to Nanaimo in 1990 where they began retirement. Later moves to Calgary, Harrison Hot Springs and finally to Abbotsford all gave wonderful opportunity to live close to family and to make new friends. After a life well lived, Bob will be sadly missed. Bob was a dedicated and loving husband and father. He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren, enjoyed the outdoors, was a highly skilled woodworker, loved chess and picnics, and was a voracious reader to his last days. A particularly fond memory of Bob's was the time he spent helping work on the building of the Westwood Community Church in Winnipeg. A memorial service was held at the Bakerview Mennonite Brethren Church in Abbotsford, BC, Friday, November 25. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Cancer Society would be appreciated.
