Robert Marks passed away peacefully in his sleep, the
morning of Friday, September 14, 2018 at the Saint John Regional
Hospital. Born in St. Martins, N.B. on July 5, 1931, he was the eldest
son of Harold and Lily (Hunter) Marks.
Bob graduated from St. Martins Superior School and
began a career in Banking with the Bank of Nova Scotia. He remained in
Saint John several years at the Charlotte Street branch and then
Toronto and finally New York City until his retirement. Bob was an
avid reader and loved to travel. On arriving back in Saint John in
2002, he lived in the city center. He so enjoyed access to the
library, city market, and walking the “Harbour Passage”
daily, and being nearer his family.
Bob is survived by his brothers Harold (Marlene) of
St. Martins, Eugene (Dorothy) of Laval, QC, Ted (Sherry) of Squamish,
B.C., and sister Lorraine (John Redstone) of Saint John and their
families.
