ROBERT (BOB) PAUL GALLANT
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bob, our brother, uncle, cousin and friend after a short illness, at the Victoria General Hospital in Winnipeg at the age of 72 years.
Bob is survived by his brother Rick (Gloria Scora) and sister Denise (Maurice Vielfaure); his nieces and nephews, Meghan (Travis), Danny, Brian (Brittany), Alanna (Jamie), Jocelyn (Cristina), Natalie (Jarad), and Carmen (Tal); and many great nieces-and nephews.
He is predeceased by his parents, Alban and Madeleine (Jutras), and his sister Yvette.
Bob grew up in Letellier and his love for his community never wavered. He held many jobs over the years, but most of his career was spent managing the family business with his father, and later his brother and sister-in-law.
Bob's main passions in life were sports and music. He would be the first to let you know that his songs – "Once and for a Lifetime" and "Elita" – were on Spotify, iTunes, and Youtube.
What mattered most to Bob in life was his family and many friends.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Miller for her care and compassion.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Letellier Athletic Association, CancerCare Manitoba, or the Manitoba Kidney Foundation.
A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, November 4, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. in the Letellier Community Hall.

I last chatted with Bob while attending Corydon concerts this summer. He looked in fine form. Once I stopped at his family's store in Letellier to buy some of their delicious pâté. Even in his seventies he was still taking music lessons. Bob lived life to the fullest. No doubt he will be greatly missed by his friends and family.

Sorry to learn about Bob's sudden passing. I last spoke with Bob this summer while attending concerts on Corydon. Always loved chatting with him. Once stopped at his store in Letellier to buy pâté. He lived life to the fullest and even in his 70's he was taking music lessons. You will be missed, Bob. - Posted by: Marcel Lacroix (friend) on: Oct 15, 2023

Bob enjoyed life and the joy sharing music with others. Such a fine man and talent. Our long weekend visit to Kenora (August long) provided good memories, music, & friendships - a lasting smile. Rest In Peace Bob. - Posted by: L. Taylor (Musician friend) on: Oct 14, 2023
