Robert Edward (Bob) Clark

Robert Edward (Bob) Clark
August 23, 1927 – April 13, 2025

Bob was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to many including his wife Willa-Jean of 68 years, children Jane (Tim), Ted (Nora), Ron (Susan) and Howard (predeceased), grandchildren Colin, Andrew, Ryan, Tyler, Melissa and Emma. He was a brother to Anne, Ruth (predeceased), Bernice (predeceased) and Jack (predeceased), and uncle to many nieces and nephews.

Bob started life in Banner, Ontario and moved to Toronto in the 1950s before retiring with Jean to Haliburton. He spent his working life as a carpenter and woodworker. He used these skills to renovate and update their Rexdale home. He then turned his attention to building a cottage that later became their retirement home on Soyers Lake in Haliburton. This was the hub for many family and friend gatherings. When not tinkering and woodworking in the shop, he enjoyed being a curler, chorister, square dancer and always a reader. His gentle nature and good humour will be missed by his family and friends.
