BOB HIBBERT

Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

• I worked with Bob for 10 years in the Wpg School Division. I just read about Bob's death in a retired teacher magazine. The world will be a lesser place for Bob's passing but a better place for his legacy. There are not many more Bobs out there ! Boyd Noble - Posted by: Boyd Noble (colleague/ friend) on: Jun 16, 2019

• I only recently heard of Bob's passing and was saddened by the news. I haven't seen or been in contact with Bob for a long time, but have thought of him often, reflecting on the bygone days when we were probation officers with the Winnipeg Juvenile Court and of our European travels together in 1962. Those were good times, with a great guy. The same guy that I was honored to have as my best man at my wedding to Nancy. My condolences, along with Nancy's, to Carol and family. - Posted by: Bill McElheran (friend) on: Feb 16, 2019

• We bought our first house in 1982 and became Bob and Carol’s neighbours. We did not get to know them until Bob and I decided to build a fence together. Bob and I drove around surveying the good and bad fences. We really got to know each other becoming good friends. Our friendship has been strong for many years like the fence we built together, that still stands. We will miss you Bob. Our condolences to Carol, Warren, Kristin and their families. - Posted by: Barry, Linda and David (Neighbours ) on: Feb 16, 2019

• Carol and family, Mavis and I were deeply saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I met Bob in 1971, at the Fort Garry Community Club, where Warren and Tom(our son) played on the same hockey team. Bob managed the team; I coached. Great guy to work with! These were the fun years. Our social get-togethers were fun too. Bob's political persuasions were compelling and after the discussions were over, he always made me think. Our golf games, in our retirement years, will leave me with fond memories. He was a superb golfer, might have made it BIG under the right circumstances. I will miss him too. Mavis joins me in wishing you the strength to deal with the difficult days ahead.

• We have lived across the street from Bob and Carol for 30 years. Bob was always quick to offer a wave or have a neighbourly chat. I loved the fact that visitors rarely left their house without a walk to their car from Bob and/or Carol. One fine day this last October the family arrived to do Bob and Carol's yard clean up. It was obvious that Bob was the supervisor, and he seemed to enjoy his new role directing the family in their tasks rather than doing the work himself. No one left without a thank you. It was always apparent that Bob loved and was very proud of his family. May you all find comfort in each other and the memories you share of this wonderful man. Our sincerest sympathy to Carol, her children and grandchildren. - Posted by: Debbie Adamchuk & Tony Karpinsky (Neighbours) on: Feb 09, 2019

• I never had the pleasure of meeting your husband, Carol, but I hope it will offer some comfort to know that your Museum 'family' is thinking about you during this time. My sincerest condolences and sympathies on your loss. - Posted by: Randy Mooi (Friend) on: Feb 07, 2019

• We lived on Somerset for 17 years next door to Bob and Carol. They made that street a home for us. More than neighbors, their family grew to become like family to us. Warren and Kristin, we loved your Dad. He will be missed in this world. Love Maureen, Jamie, Zachary, Luke and Josh - Posted by: Maureen and Jamie Andreychuk (Friends) on: Feb 06, 2019

• Please accept my condolences. Was always fun to golf with Bob. There were times when he got in Warren's head and that was hilarious. He will truly be missed. Rest in peace my friend. Brian Mckinney - Posted by: Brian McKinney (Friend) on: Feb 05, 2019
