Robert James Riehl

After a valiant fight against cancer, Rob passed away on March 28th, 2019 at his home in Goderich surrounded by family. Loving husband of Nancy Riehl (Mustard) of 47 years. Father of Ryan (Amber) and David (Marcella) Riehl and very proud Papa to Nolan, Jacintha, Hudson, Nina and Linaya Riehl. Loving brother of Addie (Al) and Joe (Sib) of Goderich and brother in law of Shirley (Bev) Hill, Dave (Cathy) Mustard and Wendy (Jerry) Bailey. Predeceased by his parents Don and Isabel Riehl. He will also be missed by many nieces, nephews and friends. Rob enjoyed playing baseball and golfing, spending time at the cottage and traveling to Florida with family. Remembered from his years of working at Canadian Tire, Home Hardware and finished his career driving for the Goderich Signal Star. Memorial donations made to the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family. A private family funeral has already been held, and a celebration of life will be held at the Maitland Golf and Country Club (25 North Harbour Rd E, Goderich) on Saturday, April 6th, 2019 from 2 โ€“ 5 PM.

    Nancy, Ryan and David. I just learned this weekend of Rob’s passing. I’m sure Rob will be greatly missed.
    My memories of our times together in Scouting reminded me that Rob was a friend to everyone and generously gave of himself so others could learn and have fun.
    May the Lord be with you during your time of grieving to support you and bring you the strength you need to press on.
