On November 26, 2022, we said goodbye to husband, father, and father-in-law,
Bob Roberts at Crown Ridge Place.
Robert Edward Roberts was born to Sydney Roberts and Alice Roberts (Mathews)
on Aug 30, 1943. He was the oldest of 12 children.
He is survived by his siblings:
Shirley Rowden (Wayne) Sharon Roberts, Bev Ablett (Tom), Elaine Roberts,
Bernice Roberts, Dorothy Roberts, Jan Wakely (Jeff), Darlene Lammers (John)
Brenda Kloostra (Jim), Pat Tidd (Andy), Ken Roberts.
Bob grew up and went to school in the Colborne and Cold Springs areas.
On May 21, 1966, he married Lorraine Linton and they raised two daughters, Susan
Roberts and Carol Ann Bristow (Chris).
He was proud of his family and if asked how the girls were, be prepared to listen
while he told you all about what they were doing while going to school and working.
He worked for 34 years for General Foods and Gaines Pet Food. When Gaines
closed in 2000, he retired to continue pursuing his passion for playing golf. He was
known for playing golf morning, noon, and evening, in the sunshine, rain, and a few
times even in the snow. If he could not play, he watched it on TV. His Dad was a
constant companion as well as his sisters and close friends. Golf was always
followed by a stop at Tim Hortons.
He was easygoing, and always had a smile for you. When he laughed you just
naturally laughed with him.
We would like to express our sincerest thanks and appreciation to the incredible
staff in all departments at Crown Ridge Place. Thank you for the amazing care and
love given to Bob during his stay at Crown Ridge Place.
