Posted By Haskett Funeral Home On June 30, 2026 @ 3:34 PM In Obituary | 55 Comments

CLARK: Robert “Bob” Wayne of Seaforth, formerly of Kippen

Passed away at Seaforth Community Hospital on Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at the age of 85. Beloved husband of Marian (Hemberger) Clark for 60 years. Cherished father of Crista Clark. Dear brother-in-law of Margi Willis. Fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews, and his friends from the Seaforth Area. Predeceased by his sons Sean Clark, and Derek Clark, siblings and in-laws, Jack and Ruby Clark, Bill Clarke, Leonard and Joan Clark, Ray Clark, and Ken Willis and his parents Lewis and Bona (Blackwell) Clark.

Bob had a lifelong love of sports, both on and off the field. He enjoyed playing broomball, hockey, and baseball, and was an enthusiastic fan who rarely missed cheering on the Toronto Maple Leafs. While sports brought him countless hours of enjoyment, nothing meant more to Bob than his family. They were the center of his life, his greatest source of pride, and the joy that filled his heart each and every day.

May your good memories stay with you. Love never dies.

Cremation has taken place. A private graveside service will be held at a later date.

Donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.


Condolences for the family of “CLARK: Robert “Bob” Wayne of Seaforth, formerly of Kippen”

Condolence from Dane Clark on July 1st, 2026 7:17 PM

My condolences to you Aunt Marion and cousin Crista,
Uncle Bob to me was always very kind and patient with me !
When I was little kid, I’m sure I could be a little jerk! LOL!
Uncle Bob took me fishing when I was very little on the old farm, I think it was a drainage ditch and I’m pretty sure he knew there was no fish! Uncle Bob would take me to watch him play broom ball.
I always wanted to play but I was too young. The US doesn’t have any COOL Sports like that!
Rest in peace Uncle Bob 🙏

Condolence from Mike and Shirley Meidinger on July 1st, 2026 9:20 PM

Condolence from Bob Heywood on July 1st, 2026 10:21 PM

Please accept my condolences in this sad news. I had a chance meeting with Bob at Tim Hortons in Seaforth a few weeks ago. It turned into a 3/4 hour history session about Hensall, General Coach and some of the colourful characters we both knew. He smiled a lot during our visit. I reminded him that in 1962 he was a groomsman and I was the ringbearer in the same local wedding, I am glad we had that visit,

Condolence from Kathey Cochrane on July 1st, 2026 11:15 PM

My deepest condolences, to the surviving members of Bobs family. It’s unfortunate that I didn’t know him. However I did know his wife Marian and his daughter Crista. I knew he was well loved.
