On Sunday October 3, 2021 Robert ‘Bob’ Leighton Edwards left this earth after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was surrounded by family and friends in the weeks leading up to his departure.
He will be dearly missed by his daughters Natasha (Nicola), and Stephanie (Craig) and grandchildren, Sophie and Jacob. Predeceased by his parents Milburn and Carole Edwards (nee Bileski) and survived by his siblings Bill, Tom (Heather), Caren (Gerald), Christine and Cathy (Bruce) and many nieces and nephews. He will be sadly missed by his best friends Greg and Frank. Robert is likely now sharing a beer and predicting the stocks with Jerry Wilkesheski, Natasha’s Godfather.
Bob proudly worked for the Canadian National Railway as an Engineer in Western Canada and retired in 2013 to his home in Oxford Mills, Ontario. Thank you to his wonderful care team who assisted us in fulfilling his wishes to remain home during his last few weeks.
Bob was a generous and courageous man and will be remembered by many.
A gathering to honor his life will occur at his sister Caren’s home in Rutherglen, Ontario on October 24th from 1-4pm at 573 Mount Pleasant Road. Donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society of Canada.
