Obituary for Robert Theodore Gerein
GEREIN, Robert Theodore With heavy hearts, we report the unexpected, peaceful passing of Rob at Surrey Memorial Hospital. He was predeceased by his father, Alfred Gerein, survived by his mother, Patricia, sister, Charlene, aunt Eve, uncles George and Bruce, his many cousins, and, most of all, his two, lovely daughters, Lillie and Bailea, and their mother, Corrie. Writing and storytelling were Rob’s passions. He was a great listener with a keen sense of humour. Rob enjoyed cooking and sharing his perspectives and trivia, from world events to pop culture. A graduate of Vancouver College (1982) and Langara College Journalism (1990), Rob gained a cetificate in entertainment administration at the University of British Columbia and also studied screenwriting at Vancouver Film School. SCTV, Saturday Night Live and Seinfeld inspired much laughter and creativity throughout the years. Rob was a lover of sports, from hockey to football to horse racing. For three decades, he was the commissioner of the Fairview Hockey Pool, which brought together friends from near and far in a congenial atmosphere, united by friendly competition and a love of the game. He recently found an appreciation for sales, and put his vast knowledge of the Lower Mainland to work at Zip Couriers. He also discovered a new enjoyment for life and health, after becoming sober more than a year-and-a-half ago.
