ROBERT WALTER BROWN November 7, 1937 - June 24, 2004 It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Robert Brown, after a heroic battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Gloria, son Glen of Toronto, daughter Cathy (Mike) Anderson, and granddaughters, Emily and Mary. Bob was predeceased by his parents, Tessie and Harvey Brown. Bob was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He looked forward to Sunday dinners with family, and especially playing with his granddaughters. Bob was born and raised in Winnipeg. He spent many summers with his family at the cottage at Lee River, fishing and puttering around the yard. He worked on the CN Police Force until his retirement in 1994, but maintained many friendships as a memento of his 31 years service. After retiring, Bob enjoyed oil painting with the Local Colour art group, travelling with his wife and friends, and spending summer evenings around the fire with his C-Bay neighbours at the Spruce Sands Trailer Resort. He had an enormous zest for life, and loved to eat, drink and be merry. He loved a good joke, and often passed them on. Heartfelt thanks to the nurses and staff of 3N West, Concordia Hospital. Funeral service will be held on Tuesday, June 29, at 3:00 p.m. at Grace Lutheran Church, 211 Kimberly Ave. In lieu of flowers donations in Bobs memory may be made to Grace Lutheran Church, Landscaping Fund or a charity of ones choice.
