It is with great sadness that the family of Robert Lynn Meyers announces his passing on Tuesday, April 27, 2021 at the age of 85 years.
Robert was born on November 6, 1935 in Emo Township to Hans and Agnes Meyers. He grew up on the farm with his sister and two brothers. Robert attended public and secondary school in Emo, Ontario. He was a farmer at heart and enjoyed using the machinery and driving the truck to town. He had a fondness for the animals and looked forward to seeing them when he got home after school.
Following his schooling, Robert worked in Atikokan at the Steep Rock Iron Mine driving rock truck. He loved to teach the new recruits how to drive these big trucks. He worked for a variety of trucking companies and in 1969, he began work at Superior Propane as a serviceman. He remained in this job for 25 years. He retired at the age of 61 but continued trucking and servicing gas equipment after that. Bob also converted two of his trucks to propane as well.
Robert was a kind and gentle man. He always loved a good story and looked for the positive in everyone. He will be deeply missed by his wife of 51 years, Beatrice Meyers (nee Andrews), children Emily (Rob) Meyers-Armstrong and Darcy (Jennifer) Meyers; grandchildren Alexandra Armstong and Karlee Daniels; great-grandchild Jack. He is also survived by his in-laws Denise Meyers, Linda Toews, Margaret Andrews, Jim (Karen) Andrews, Isabelle (Art) Miller, Tom Andrews and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Robert was predeceased by his father Hans Meyers; mother Agnes Meyers (nee Gibson); sister Charlotte (Watson) Slomke; brothers George and Norman Meyers; sister-in-law Millie Souza-Leite; brother-in-law Milt Andrews.
Due to COVID 19, a small family service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Riverside Foundation for Health Care.
