Obituary
Robert (Bob) William Senior
June 1 1936 – April 12 2023
Despite his determination to battle through his declining health, Bob passed away April 12, surrounded by the caring and attentive caregivers and staff at Helen Henderson Care Centre.
Bob was a kind, generous, good man who loved his family, his sports, and the city of Kingston.
He enjoyed life with family, friends, and neighbours on Morenz Crescent and Cronk Lake.
Bob was an accomplished athlete and he appreciated the friends that he made through sports. He was a proud member of the Kingston Athletic Sports Enthusiasts (KASE) club, which includes fellow local athletes of his generation.
He was also honoured to be inducted into the Kingston Sports Hall of Fame in 2001 for his accomplishments in hockey, baseball, curling and builder category.
His passion was harness racing with his horses Lucky May Jay and her colt Early Lead. He spent more time golfing in his retirement years, but never mastered the game, but enjoyed the outdoors and the walk at his favourite golf course, Belle Park.
He chose a career in Correctional Services, as it provided a stable and steady income to provide for his family and allowed his wife to stay home as a homemaker. He started as a Tinsmith at Kingston Penitentiary and retired as Chief of Plant Maintenance at Collin’s Bay Penitentiary.
We will miss his larger than life presence.
