It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of
Robert A. Trenholm, of Port
Elgin. Bobby passed away at the Sackville Memorial Hospital
on Monday, April 29, 2024 surrounded by his loving
family.
Born in Port Elgin, he was a son of the late Alton
and Delilah (Larson) Trenholm.
Bobby’s vigor for life was matched only by his
output. Bobby worked the majority of his life as a lobster fisherman
on a variety of fishing boats, one of which he built himself. In his
later years, these memories of the sea were important to him; and he
spent a lot of time admiring the water and spending time by the
ocean. He was the last surviving member of the original Port
Elgin volunteer fire department; and worked several years as a
volunteer ambulance driver. Not a stranger to odd jobs, Bobby was
known as the one to call if something needed to be done in Port
Elgin.
He often enjoyed lively get-to-gethers with friends
and family where guests would dance accompanied by the fiddle, as well
as Christmas day dinners hosted by Linda and himself. Bobby had a
number of hobbies from wood working, fishing, bird-feeding, tending to
stray animals on his property, camping in his RV with his late-wife
Linda along the water and enjoying evenings listening to the radio. He
also rooted for the Maple Leafs; even when they let him down. His
enormous heart and his independence allowed Bobby to live a long life
on his own terms, something he relished.
The family would like to thank Laura
Hewitt, Tina Wall, as well as the team at Extra Mural for providing
him with the care that allowed him to live in the home he loved. We
would also like to thank Dr. Stewart and the entire staff of the
Sackville Memorial Hospital for the care and comfort provided for dad
and his family during his recent stay.
He will be dearly missed by his daughters Roberta
(Peter) Copp, Irishtown, NB, Nerie Allen, Port Elgin, Robynn (Donald)
Polley, Upper Cape, Deanna (Chris) Fillmore, Moncton, Leanne Trenholm
(Mike Allain), Moncton; their mother Sheila Landry, Port Elgin;
grandchildren Tricia, Andrew, Nathan, Cody, Kelsie, Brooke, Brandon,
Jordan; great grandchildren Noah, Nadia, Rayelle, Presley, Layton, and
Avery; sister in law Lillian Trenholm, Port Elgin.
He was predeceased by his wife Linda (Haley)
Trenholm; daughter in infancy Bridgette; great grandaughter Chasity;
siblings Donald, Helen Burke, Ralph, and Dewey.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the
