ROBERT (BOB) WARSABA It is with great sorrow the family of Bob Warsaba announces his sudden death on Monday, July 2, 2001 at the age of 52 years. He will be deeply missed by his wife Jacqueline Coutu; and his children, Philippe of Ottawa, Stephanie of Vancouver, and twins, David and Eric of Grande Prairie. Bob is survived by his brother and sisters, Kathy DePape (Barry), Dianne Labossiere (Paul), Judy Lepp, Shannon Labossiere (Jules), Chris Warsaba and their families, all of Manitoba. Bob was predeceased by his father Nicholas in 1976; and his mother Laura in 2000. Bob Warsaba was born on July 31, 1948 in Miami, MB. After graduating from Red River Community College (in Electrical Technology), Bob moved to Calgary, AB. Later, he moved to Edmonton, where he met his wife, Jacquie. They were married May 4, 1974, and had four children, Philippe (June 13, 1976), Stephanie (March 18, 1979), and twins David and Eric (April 2, 1989). Bob lived in Grande Prairie from 1974 to 1985, where he worked for Pardee Equipment. He continued working for Pardee from 1985 to 1997 while living in Edmonton. Bob and his family returned to Grande Prairie in 1997, where for the last couple of years he enjoyed working for Northern Tractor. Bob was a dedicated family man who devoted countless hours to cooking his famous meals, chauffeuring all his children to their various activities, repairing the things his family relentlessly broke, and talking on the phone with family and friends. Bob will be sorely missed by his family, friends, neighbours and co-workers. A memorial service will be held on Friday, July 6 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Josephs Catholic Church, 10113-103 Ave., Grande Prairie. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations be made to the Grande Prairie Minor Hockey Association, 9535 Prairie Rd., Grande Prairie, AB T8V 6G5, or a charity of ones choice.
