Trowbridge, Robert ‘Bob’ William
September 28th, 2020
After a courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease, Robert William Trowbridge passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, on Monday, September 28, 2020 at Dearness Home, London. Born May 28, 1940, Bob was the only child of the late Rev. Robert King Trowbridge and the late Eleanor Oxley Trowbridge. Bob is survived by his beloved wife, Nancy (née Conquergood), and his much loved daughters of whom he was so proud, Jennifer and Elizabeth, and their spouses, Michael Kiers and Steven Mews. For Bob, family was everything and he especially loved his grandchildren Brooklyn, Harrison, Jasper, Claire, Della and Sophie. He will be missed by his sisters-in-law Lois Hall and Janet Conquergood, brother-in-law Vernon Hall, and their families. Dear friend of Doug and Karen Arnold. A graduate of both Waterloo (Hons. BA, MA) and Western (Althouse College) Universities, Bob was an educator and lover of history and politics, with a distinguished career with both the Halton County and Greater Es County District School Boards. Outside the classroom, he served on the local and provincial Political Action Committee of the OSSTF. Bob and Nancy spent 41 wonderful years as residents of Es County, moving to London in 2011 to be closer to family and specialized medical care. A heartfelt “thanks” goes out to the staff of the Dearness Home, particularly 5E for their care and compassion over the last years. Many thanks to Dorothy Green for being there for Bob when Nancy couldn’t be. Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, his family will honour Bob with a gathering at a later date. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Bob are asked to consider the Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario.
