Bob (Robert) Crawford
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bob on June 7, 2014.
He leaves behind his loving wife of 52 years Coree, beloved children Ann-Marie (Gord), Rob and Paul (Andree), cherished grandchildren Andy, Sheena (Zack), Jordan, Joel and Ethan, siblings Gordon, Doris and Debbie and a large extended family.
Bob was born March 23, 1941 in Cochrane, Ontario and grew up in South Porcupine where he formed many lifelong friendships. His passion for sports brought him west to Powell River, where he suited up for the Rodmay Regals starting in 1960. It was at the arena where he met the love of his life Coree and married her the following year. Bob was happily involved in local sports as a player, coach and executive. He took great pride in being able to coach and cheer on his kids and grandkids in the activities that they loved. After a successful career at the mill, Bob and Coree were able to expand their joy for travel and camping.
We would like to express our appreciation to our health care professionals for their care and compassion over the last few months.
A celebration of life will be held at 2 pm, Wednesday, June 18 at Hap Parker Arena. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at 573 Nature Park Drive, Campbell River, BC V9W 7Z9.
