THOMAS WILLIAM BOBBY
He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his three sons, Matthew, Philip and Kevin, and his sister and brother-in-law Andrea and Al Baker. He will also be missed by his many friends and colleagues.
Tom graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1975 with a Bachelor of Commerce, Honours degree and attained his CA designation in 1978. He retired as Secretary Treasurer in 2016 from the Winnipeg School Division and currently was the Executive Director of MASBO.
Tom had a love for music, record collecting, and all sports including golf. He was a proud member of Pine Ridge Golf Club and his hole-in-one on seven. But what Tom was most proud of was his sons and it brought him great joy that all graduated from the U of M with the same Bachelor of Commerce degree that he held.
Tom was predeceased by his parents, Nick and Mary Bobby.
A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, October 29 at 11:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street.
The family thanks everyone for their support.
Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations may be made to the charity of your choice.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Toms passing. I first met Tom when I was with Altman Green Taylor. We became friends right away and always enjoyed each other’s company. He was a very good racquetball player and always got the win. I will miss Tom and offer my condolences to the family. Tom was a good person and friend. - Posted by: Ron Hemmersbach (Friend) on: Feb 07, 2020

I had the pleasure of working with Tom in WSD and then in his new role at MASBO. I enjoyed all of our time together and was proud of his work for public education. He also made me laugh when he noted that it was a good thing we weren't married as I would be Bobbi Bobby. I will miss him. Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Bobbi Taillefer (colleague) on: Oct 31, 2019

My condolences to Tom's family. I was 1 year younger then Tom but we played on the same legion 141 baseball teams for years. Our families were very close as we grew up as kids to teenagers.

I am saddened to read this news. I got to know Tom thru my parents as he was their tax preparer and a recorder collector as was my dad. I had just texted him a week or so ago and he said I’ll get back to you upon my release from SBGH. My heart goes out to his sons and family as I know how you feel and may you take comfort in your wonderful memories and in knowing he is at peace. May Tom Rest In Peace and be hitting those hole in ones in heaven. God speed Tom till we meet again - Posted by: Maureen Garrett-Lebrun (Friend) on: Oct 27, 2019
