ROBERT (BOB) ANDREW FETTERLY Peacefully and surrounded by family, Robert Fetterly passed away suddenly, early Sunday, May 12, 2002. The second son of Leonard and Chrissie Fetterly, Bob was born April 23, 1937, in Winnipeg, MB and grew up in Millbrook, attending Millbrook School.

He was predeceased by his mother in 1979 and father in 1991. His work evolved around construction, truck driving and his main passion, farming. After retiring from the Dept. of Highways in 1994, he couldnt stop working and took up his farming passion by working for Johnson Agro and Farm, working with the big equipment he always dreamed of. He spent his rest time watching baseball on TV and attending Goldeyes games. If there were no games available, he loved to fish, snowmobile and attend farming expositions. He loved to watch his grandchildren grow and looked forward to their visits, especially for Sunday dinners and Christmas. When he missed them or could not see them, he made sure to phone them just to talk. If you have a favourite picture of Bob, please bring it to the service.
