William Robert “Bob” Spencer
1937-2021
On February
17, 2021, in his 84th year and with family by his side, Bob was met at
Heaven’s Gate by his beloved soul mate Jane (Spencer, nee
Lackie), whom he lost not quite 6 months before.
Bob had a
stroke a week prior, but ultimately it was his heart that gave
way… We truly feel he died of a broken heart. Some of his
last words were reaching out to our mom, sharing that he had been
waiting months to see her. As difficult as this is for those left
behind, we take comfort in knowing that they are truly together
forever.
Leaving
behind his ‘darling daughter’ Dulce (Donnie), son
Shawn, grandchildren Jody (Maddy), Court (Amber) and Meghan, great
grandchildren Hunter and Jackson and his beloved grand-puppies Moose
(aka Mouse) and Shasta. Bob will also be missed by many nieces,
nephews and some pretty amazing friends.
Predeceased
by his parents Walter and Agnes (Smith), and brothers Walter and Dave.
Born in
Toronto, Bob and Jane moved to the London region in 1998 to be closer
to family. Both were known for their focus on family &
friends, kindness, generosity & gratitude. While living in
Scarborough, Bob‘s commitment to community service is
recognized in his involvement in the Agincourt Civitan club, as a
member of the Fast Friars of St Timothy’s Church and through
his volunteer work at Scarborough General Hospital.
In his
younger years, Bob was a gym junkie (squash and running were his
favourite activities) and loved to go sailing on the open waters.
Shortly before retirement, Bob & Jane purchased a house
cruiser, christened it Rowdy Jane and enjoyed their time in the
Kawartha’s where they were able to spend time with family.
They maintained some fantastic friendships over the years –
weekends away, traveling… Bob loved music and dancing, and
was always down for a good time.
Contrary to
his grandchildren calling him Grump, he always shared a smile and
laugh with those he crossed paths with.
In lieu of
flowers, donations to the Heart & Stroke foundation and
C.N.I.B would be appreciated.
Cremation
has already take place.

will be received at Logan Funeral
