Henry «Bob» France Obituary
Henry Robert France, known to his friends and family as Bob or Freckles, passed away during the night of May 3, 2024, at the age of 82 with his daughter and granddaughter by his side, while receiving care at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, AB. He will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Shelley Henczel, granddaughter Kaitlin Henczel, as well as his extended family and many friends. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 43 years Arlene in 2020.
Bob was born in Coleman, Alberta on December 26, 1941 to his parents Henry and Grace France. He moved to Calgary and attended SAIT to study engineering eventually going into Oil and Gas with Shell Canada. He married Arlene in 1976, becoming a step- father to Shelley. Bob remained an active member of his community coaching sports, and volunteering with Radio Watch of the Calgary Police. Eventually he moved back to the Crowsnest Pass to retire with his wife.
Bob loved keeping up to date on the weather and being in the outdoors-spending time going for quad rides, fishing, or just doing maintenance on his property. He loved sports, with baseball and curling being two of his favourites to watch. Bob loved spending time with his friends and always looked forward to those that dropped in. He was an avid traveller whether it was camping or taking his yearly cruise with his wife. He could never say no to a caesar and always knew it was 5 o’clock somewhere. He had a cheeky smile and was always up to something, even during his last days he was playing tricks on the nurses. He will be missed dearly.
We want to extend our sincere appreciation to the doctors, nurses and medical staff of Unit 112 at the Foothills Medical Centre for their absolute stellar care while Bob was there.
A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held from 1:00pm until 3:00pm on Saturday, May 25, 2024 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 9, Coleman (7831 – 17 Ave., Coleman, AB). Please stop by to share memories and reminisce, while enjoying some light snacks and refreshments, and raising a glass in honour of Bob.
A Private Graveside will be held, but will be recorded and available for others to watch on the Fantin’s Funeral Chapel website afterward.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation (PO Box 455 Blairmore, AB T0K 0E0). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.
