He is survived by his wife Brenda and his two children, Lauren and Jonathon (Praxi) and his two granddaughters, Maya and Nora. He will be missed by his family and numerous friends.

Playing guitar was his therapy and his passion. His love for music was undeniable.

His battle with Alzheimer’s is finally over and he requested that his body be donated to the University of Manitoba.

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

  • I worked with Bob back when he was the Director of Project Neecheewam. With his affable personality, good humour and positive energy, Bob was well liked by everyone. He was good at a lot of things. I remember the huge crowd that came to his retirement party. Alzheimer’s is a cruel disease and it took away a very talented and very loved man. Dear Brenda: my sincere condolences to you and your children. May your memories provide comfort and peace to you. - Posted by: Gayle Michalyshyn (Former colleague) on: Jul 25, 2026
