Bob NISBET

NISBET, Bob (Hugh Robert) July 4, 1942 – August 10, 2013 Bob was born in Nanaimo, B.C. He lived most of his life at Cassidy, B.C., then moved to Extension, B.C. He graduated from Nanaimo Secondary School then began his working career at Crofton Mill. After early retirement he pursued many interests – hiking, canoeing, kayaking, hunting, fishing, photography, music, road trips, reading and listening to stories of the olden days. Bob was extremely dedicated to safety. His vehicles were always expertly maintained and of course always polished. In later years Bob met his partner and companion Maudine. They shared interests including travel and cooking. Bob was predeceased by his mother Rose and his infant daughter Dynette Dawn. He is survived by his sons Rob, Dayle (Ellie), their mother Jean, his grandchildren Andy, Jake and Jazmine, as well as sisters Sheila and Sharron, brother-in-law Carl Anderson, his father Hugh of Ladysmith and Maudine. Bob was tragically in Victoria B.C. We have broken hearts but memories that will last a lifetime. When you remember Bob please honour him by helping others as he did, caring for the environment and taking quiet moments to enjoy the beauty of planet earth.
