MCCABE: Robert

August 11, 2020 By 23 Condolences

MCCABE: Robert

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) McCabe, on August 11, 2020 at University Hospital, London with his family by his side. Loving husband and cherished friend of Audrey for fifty years. Proud father of Michael & Alecia, Julie & Bentley and adored Grandpa of Kayla, Curtis, Ryan, Ava, Hannah & Irelyn. Special brother of Dorothy (Gerald), Audrey (Joanne), Judy (Fred) and Paul. Dear brother-in-law of Ruth and uncle to several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, Bob & Elva, siblings Virginia (Art), June (Bill), and in-laws, Hannah and Harry, Arn and Donna (Dan).
Bob was a dedicated employee of Sifto Evaporator Plant for over forty years. During that time, Bob made many lifelong friends continuing after retirement. Making friends was easy with Bobโ€™s kind and caring manner. Bobโ€™s family was his pride and joy. He loved spending time with them and was a wonderful role model. He will be forever remembered for his smile that could light up a room and his gentle voice. He was always up for a good chat and a cold beer.
Due to Covid restrictions, there will be a private family graveside service. A celebration of Bobโ€™s life for family and friends will be held at a later date.
In memory of Bob and his love for the outdoors, donations to the Menesetung Bridge Association would be gratefully appreciated.

Offer Condolence for the family of MCCABE: Robert
