ROBERT ARABSKY It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Arabsky at the Concordia Hospital on Wednesday, September 18, 2002, at the age of 58 years. He is survived by his loving wife Laural; sister Ollie; brother Peter (Frances) brothers-in-law, Karl and Dennis (Judy) sister-in-law Wendy (Dennis). Uncle Bob will be sadly missed by nieces and nephews: Robin, Heather, Donald, Gregory, Michael, Chad, Ryan, Scott, Alison and Geoff. He was predeceased by his parents; his sister Millie; and his brother-in-law Don. Bob will be lovingly remembered by a large extended family, many friends and coworkers. Bob was a devoted champion of the environment, an accomplished pilot and mechanic, respected teacher, artist, musician, photographer, a student with interests in many areas, and a lifelong animal lover.
