With great sadness, we announce the passing of our much loved dad, Bob, on Saturday, September 15, 2018. Bob leaves his children Glenn (Valerie), Linda Tyerman (David), and Lorna Baker (Dale). Missing him greatly are his grandchildren: Cody Appleyard (Jacky), Cheryl Appleyard (Darcy), Lori Jivan (Jarrett), Sara Convery (Kevin), Whitney Gemmill (Bill), Kenzie King (Tom), Kelly Farmer (Trevor), Tricia Tyerman (Ratheesh), Roberta Baker, Patti Taylor (Travis), Michael Baker (Marie-France). Dad was also blessed with 15 great-granddaughters and 3 great-grandsons. Bob is also survived by his sister Ruth Sampson (Mel), brothers James Appleyard, and Douglas Appleyard (Beverly); in laws: Janice Appleyard, Joyce Stewart, Kitty Stewart, Mary Stewart, Ken Stewart (Marilyn), and Lloyd Stewart (Darlene), as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceasing Bob was his beloved wife Doreen (Stewart), his son Allan and daughter-in-law Kathy, his parents Bob and Amy, as well as brothers Ken and Ron, and sister, Isabel Nichol. Our Dad was born February 24, 1925. He attended the Rockwood and Grosse Isle Schools. Dad married our Mom in September 1951. In 1960, we all moved to the farm near Balmoral where Dad happily lived the rest of his life until some health obstacles required a recent move to Lions Manor in Stonewall. Dad was strong willed and worked hard to provide for his family. In addition to farming, he drove a school bus for 35 years. Dad also had a passion for his horses and many people had fun on wagon and sleigh rides behind his team. He was also enthusiastic about antiques and old tractors and rarely missed an auction sale. Dad loved to dance, particularly enjoying the old time music and fiddling tunes. After our Mom passed away in 1996, Dad began bowling in the Friday senior league and looked forward to weekly golf games at Inwood in the summers with his buddies. Dad was very involved with his family, and at gatherings it was obvious from his smile that he derived great pleasure from simply being with, listening to, and watching the young ones. A game or two of crib never hurt either. As per Dad’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A private family gathering is to be held at a later date. A simple life well lived—we will always miss you, Dad.

It is with very heavy hearts that we announce Robby’s passing on September 2, 2018 at the age of 42. Peacefully and surrounded by his family, he left this world after a heroic battle with cancer. He left a huge hole in the hearts of many including his children Aiden and Ella (their mother Lauren), mom Lori (David), dad Rob (Linda), sister Lisa (Errol), nephews (Dante, Brayden and Darius) and his special angel, Andrea. He will also be dearly missed by his grandparents (Harry and Joan Arseniuk), numerous aunts and uncles, cousins, extended family and friends. Robby was born on February 16, 1976 in Pinawa and raised in Balmoral, where he grew to love the outdoors. He loved being part of a small community where he gained many lifelong friendships. As a young boy, he enjoyed building forts, riding his dirt bike, snowmobiling, and playing badminton & baseball. Later on, Robby moved to Stonewall where many of his dreams came true, which included buying his dream car (a 1966 Chevy II Nova), starting his own trucking business, and joining the Stonewall Rockwood Fire Department. His biggest dream came true when his miracle son Aiden was born and not long after, he was blessed with his beautiful daughter Ella. Robby always said that the most important role in his life was being a dad. His children were number one in his life and could put a smile on his face anytime he needed it. Robby loved spending time with his friends. Going fishing or having coffee with his buddies were some of his favourite things to do. He was so proud to be a part of the SRFD and enjoyed every moment he spent with them. Robby really looked forward to his yearly trip to BIR (Brainerd International Raceway) and seeing his huge family of friends there. He loved looking back at old memories and creating new ones. Robby is loved more than words can express, and we will treasure our memories of him forever. We can all be thankful that we had him in our lives and continue to remember him as the best daddy, best son, best brother, and the amazing guy that he truly was. A kinder, more caring person could not be found. He would give you the shirt off his back without you having to ask. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Stonewall Legion on Friday, September 7, 2018 at 1:00 pm. Please dress very casually and bring a picture of yourself with Robby (or just a picture of you) to put on our “Wall of Friends”. Instead of flowers, if you would like, a donation to the Stonewall Rockwood Fire Department or Cancer Care Manitoba would be appreciated. We would like to thank Dr. Wong and Dr. Kakumanu and the staff at Cancer Care, Health Sciences Center, and Stonewall Hospital for taking such good care of Robby.
