WEATHERBY, Robert (Bob)
February 7, 1948 – March 3, 2019
Robert (Bob) Lawrence Weatherby passed away peacefully in his sleep at the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary, Alberta on Sunday, March 3, 2019 at the age of 71. Born February 7, 1948 in Nova Scotia, Bob was a loving husband to his wife Marge and together, they raised their family and worked side by side for many years in their meat shop in Redcliff, Alberta before settling to Strathmore, Alberta.
Bob was always a kind, gentle, and temperate man who treated everyone with respect and dignity. After closing their business, he remained passionate about his treasured recipes and continued to smoke his own meats and jerky, sitting vigilantly for hours outside the smoker door quietly reading, ever watchful to produce a quality batch time after time to which he generously shared with family and friends. Bob also worked in the offices of ASM Industries in Calgary for many years and took as much care and interest in doing that job as he did in his own business.
Through his warm smile and tongue in cheek humour, he loved to share a story or three with anyone who would listen and was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. He was quick to share with great pride the accomplishments of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He has left a profound mark on all the lives he has touched and will be dearly missed.
As per his wishes, there will be no service, but friends wanting to commemorate the generous life of Bob are asked to donate to the Strathmore Overnight Shelter (102 Canal Gardens, Strathmore, AB T1P 0C4) or contact them through their website at www.strathmoreovernightshelter.com
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Robert Bob Weatherby March 3rd 2019..
