Bob leaves behind many other friends and co-workers from OK Builders in Kelowna. Bob is predeceased by his parents and his brother Norman Stewart. Bob and Norman were really close as brothers and shared a great bond and many of the same interests. Bob grew up in Kamloops spending most of his summers on Paul Lake at the family cabin. He graduated from Kamloops Secondary and began working with OK Builders in Kamloops at an early age and later transferred to OK Builders in Kelowna where he was employed until his death. Bob was an avid sportsman and excelled in hockey, baseball and swimming earning many trophies along the way. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, bowling, crib and camping with his friends. Bob was a big gentle man, easy to laugh and the first one to lend a helping hand. Bob remained active in sports, especially hockey until late in life and enjoyed riding his bicycle to and from work every day. The family will arrange a Celebration of Life at a later date. We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And the days before that too. We think of you in silence, And often speak your name. All we have are memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we will never part. God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts. We love you Uncle Bob and will miss you forever.
