Robert Joseph
(“Bob”) Alain, 77 of Moncton and formerly of Riverview,
passed peacefully on March 24, 2022 at the Moncton City Hospital. Bob
is survived by his wife of 57 years, Dianna (Michaud) Alain, daughters
Angela (Dave Cameron) and Lori, six grandchildren: Joshua (Alyssa) and
Steven Lockhurst, Brittany Clark, Patrick and Jean-Luc Melanson, and
one great grandson Hunter Lockhurst. Bob is also survived by three
step-grand-children: Max, Erica and Jade
Cameron.
Born in Bathurst, NB to the
late Yvon and Jean (VanSickler) Alain. Bob was predeceased by his
beloved son James in 1975.
Bob also leaves behind three
brothers and one sister: Roger (Mavis), Richard (Erika), John and
Susan; his extended Michaud family and many nieces and
nephews.
Bob retired from Canada Post
after 28 years which led him across the province from Chatham to Port
Elgin to Grand Falls before settling in Riverview in
1980.
Bob was introduced to Rotary
International while living in Port Elgin and continued his membership
with the Moncton West & Riverview Rotary Club until his
retirement. Bob really enjoyed being a part of the Club and was known
for selling tickets for their annual
fundraiser.
Bob was also an auxiliary RCMP
constable serving in Cap-Pelé, Grand Falls and Riverview, a
position he enjoyed for 17 years.
Although Bob enjoyed his
retirement from Canada Post, he could not sit still and decided to
join the Walmart team where he worked for 17 years before retirement
attempt number two.
Coming out of retirement once
again, Bob became a Commissionaire working in the Moncton area until
December 2021.
During his spare time, and
between retirements, Bob volunteered at multiple events including
Memorial Cup, FIFA- track and field where he enjoyed meeting people
from other countries.
In Bob’s words, he
had a full, enjoyable and rewarding life. Bob will be
missed.
Thank you to the doctors and
staff at the Moncton City Hospital who cared for him and kept us
informed with weekly phone calls.
Bob will be laid to rest
alongside his son at St. Anthony’s Cemetery in
Fredericton.
