Never forgotten by special nephew Matthew (Kailey) Douglas. Dear uncle to many young people. Friend to so many, including those in the trades and new friends in his winter home of Punta Gorda, Florida.
Pragmatic to the end, upon learning of his illness, funeral arrangements were made and Robert’s obituary was written. Visitation at the Chippewas of Rama Community Hall on Monday December 18th from 9:00AM to time of service at 10:30AM. Interment Rama Cemetery.
The family wishes to thank Dr. R. Sheppard and the staff at Rama's ECU for their exceptional care and kindness. Rob always considered funeral flowers to be somewhat frivolous.
