With a heart full of grief and gratitude for having had the privilege of knowing him, his family is advising of the passing of Robert W. Brown on Friday, June 14th at St. Boniface Hospital. Bob was a retired Corporal of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and an honorary member of a number of cities in the United States regarding his many years of service on the Drug Section.
Bob was one of the last of the good old boys, a rare breed of a man who, in our watered down world, could seem shockingly blunt upon first meeting him, but you always knew that you got nothing but the honest to God truth as he saw it. He was refreshing and you never questioned where you stood with him – no time was wasted. Loyalty, honor, integrity, kindness and the truth are not always easy but was a solid code by which he lived. He had this way about him. More people should live by this creed.
Bob had a broad spectrum of knowledge and he practically had an answer for almost everything – from his RCMP career, to cooking at the End of Main, to fishing, to making his flies, to trades, to farming and to politics. He always had his opinion and voiced it loudly and often.
He deeply loved the Kootneys and the many friends he made there. As an avid fisherman, Bob would educate anyone who would listen to him about keeping Kootenay Lake safe, healthy and respecting nature. He fought constantly and wrote many letters to the different government agencies to save the lake and to promote tourism.
His words will carry forward in the tourists and their children and all of his family and fiends. He took a great deal of pleasure in the time he spent to educate everyone he came in contact with regarding Kootenay Lake.
Bob could be ‘gruff and humble’ at the same time, but was down to earth and could be very stubborn. He loudly voiced his opinion but his warm heart would shine through when he spoke about his family and friends who meant a lot to him. He was proud and adored all of his four children and deeply loved Brenda. They all took excellent care of him and loved him to bits in his last few years.
He will be dearly missed by all who cared about him. He left a lasting impression on so many and his legacy will live on through them.
Bob is survived by his sisters Joan Schultz (Bruno), Bonnie Purdy (Bob), and all his nieces and nephews that were all very important to him and loved him very much.
REST PEACEFULLY
