Robert “Bob” West
1931-2021
Robert (Bob) A. West .passed away peacefully Tuesday, August 3 at
Hotel Dieu Hospital, Perth Andover. Born January 14, 1931 in
Royalton, New Brunswick, Bob was
predeceased by his parents Hadden and Stella (O’Neal) West and
son Steve. Sisters Beatrice Kennard , Madge Kennard and brother
Bill.
Survived by his wife Beverley (Boland) West, whom he adored, his son
Gary (Donna), his daughter Penny (John) Hately, eight grandchildren
and five great grandchildren, all he loved very much and was so proud
of. Sisters Mavis Donovan and Judy (Dale Anderson).
He was a hard worker all his life and always willing to lend a hand to
a neighbour, friend and even a stranger. Although a shy and private
person he enjoyed having people around and a good laugh. He got a
great kick tormenting his sisters and would tease anyone who crossed
his path if he knew they could handle it.
Over the years he enjoyed 10pen bowling, golf, having a good game of
cards or dominos and going for drives. To Bob the only good
television to watch was the news (sometimes), the Toronto Blue Jays,
Toronto Maple Leafs, golf and any musical special.
He appreciated all genres of music, live theatre, art, but most of all
nature. Nothing excited him more than to see a deer, moose or eagle on
the many drives he and Beverley would take.
Seventeen years ago Bob and Beverley moved from Mississauga, Ontario
to Florenceville-Bristol and thoroughly enjoyed the best of both
worlds … friendly quiet rural living and access to towns and
cities when they wanted it.
A special “thank you” to the nurses at Hotel Dieu Hospital
for their compassionate care during his stay there.
