Robert Gordon “Bob” Graves
– 67, of Coldbrook, passed away peacefully on January 12,
2022, at home surrounded by his loved ones. Born in Kentville, he was
a son of the late John and Flora (Cleveland) Graves. He is survived by
his wife of 41 years, Judy (Brewster) Graves; son, Christopher (Eric)
Schelter, Philadelphia; daughter, Susan (Matt) Russell, Hantsport;
sisters, Cathy Griffin, New Minas; Betty (Dave) Strong, Berwick; Judy
(Gene) Vaughan, La Have; Debbie Roberts, Pereau; Donna (Peter)
Spencer, Wasaga Beach, ON; Diane Graves, Kentville; brothers, John
(Sue), Kentville; and Tim, Toronto, ON; surrogate sister, Jackie
Johnson, Greenwood; grandchildren, Vera and Gwen Russell, Freddie,
Maddie and Hugh Schelter; mother-in-law, Jackie Brewster;
sisters-in-law, Debbie (Cyril) Forsythe, Marie Hurley (Laarier
Boudreau), Cathy (Jerry) Reimer, Nancy Brewster (Adam Munick);
brother-in-law, David (Dolores) Brewster; and many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his father-in-law, Hugh
Brewster and brother-in-law, Cliff Roberts. Bob worked, as his father
before him, as a painter and dry waller. Many will attest he was one
of the best. He loved broomball and baseball and loved spending time
with his grandchildren. Bob will always be remembered by his many
nieces and nephews as the one who had a treat ready for them no matter
how old they were. Bob would give you the shirt off his back and many
cases did just that. Bob enjoyed his time as Judy’s partner
in the Bell Aliant Pioneers and even though Judy was the active member
everyone knew Bob. Hunga-munga Bob, you are at peace now. Cremation
has taken place and a celebration of Bob’s life will take
place at a later date. Donations in memory may be made to the Heart
and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia. Funeral
arrangements have been entrusted to the
White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
