STEWART, Frederick Robert (Bob)

Nov 8, 1929 - Apr 6, 2022

The family of Bob Stewart are sad to announce that he passed away peacefully in hospital after several weeks of illness. He was predeceased by his parents Freda and Charlie Stewart, brother Mike, sister-in-law Caroline, grandson Liam. He will be dearly missed by his wife Suzanne, sons Martin and Tim, brother Jim (Belinda), grandson Ryan, niece Robyn, and nephews Dave, Bob, and Duncan

Bob was born and raised in Dunbar. His schools were Point Grey Junior High, Lord Byng High, and UBC where he graduated in 1955 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He worked at MacMillan Bloedel for a few years, leaving later to become a stockbroker which was always his first love.

Family was important to Bob. He helped coach his sons' baseball games, acted as Manager in their hockey activities, and supported them during their summer months of competitive swimming. He also enjoyed teaching them how to play golf as his father did before him. Later in life he enjoyed watching his grandson Ryan play sports. Never too far from his mind was the early passing of brother Mike and grandson Liam whom he grieved for daily.

In retirement Bob and Suzanne spent many holidays on the islands of the Caribbean, his favourite being Barbados. He also enjoyed sitting on a bench at Ambleside where he could enjoy the pleasures of the seaside.

Bob was a very sociable man. He enjoyed being with family, friends or at neighbourhood get-togethers, and with a twinkle in his eye he had a smile or joke for everybody.

Bob will later be interred with his parents at the Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.
