Alexander, Robert Moore ‘Bob’
Bob passed away peacefully at the Meaford Long Term Care Centre surrounded by his loving daughters and the wonderful staff on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 in his 90th year.
Born in Thornbury on March 10, 1932, Bob was a son of the late Harold and Kathleen (nee Moore) Alexander.
He was the beloved husband of Julia Marie Alexander (nee Fiegehen) who predeceased him in 2005.
Bob is survived by his cherished daughters Katherine (Robert Somerville), Shauna (Ann Marie Devon), and Sheilagh (Darren Bowins).
He was the proud grandfather of Lindsay (Jack Somerville), Thomson (Cassie Somerville), Nickolas and Karissa Bowins, and great grandfather of Kenzie Somerville, and great grandfather of Freya and Clara Somerville.
He will be missed by his sister Fran Dance and was predeceased by his brother-in-law Bill Dance in 1998. He was the dear uncle of Sandy (Nancy), John (Jan) and Mike (Rose) Dance.
Bob worked alongside his father Harold as the manager and owner of Alexander’s Red and White Grocery Store in Thornbury. He enjoyed finding ways to care for others and assisted on many charitable boards and committees. He spent his life giving and always saw the best in people. He was a great supporter of the underdog, those who others often overlooked. Bob was a humanitarian who offered so much to his community, his friends and anyone who needed help. He will be missed but will never be forgotten.
Bob’s family extends their sincere gratitude to the staff at the Meaford Long Term Care Centre for the love, support and compassion shown to Bob and his family over the years and for the extra care and consideration during his final days.
A private family graveside service will be conducted at Thornbury-Clarksburg Union Cemetery.
