Robert Atkinson Obituary
Surrounded by the love of his family, Bob died in St. Paul's Hospital after several years living with Multiple Myeloma.
Bob was the beloved husband of Barbara for 58 years, loving father of sons David (Suzy) and Michael (Carolyn), proud grandfather of Jade, Kate, Jessica, and Jordan, and special brother to Joanne (Dave) Barker.
He was predeceased by parents Cecil and Barbara, elder sister Lynn (Ken) Klink and brother Bill.
Bob enjoyed a productive and distinguished business career serving as president of the Vancouver Stock Exchange and later as president of Loewen Ondaatje McCutcheon in Toronto. He made long-lasting friendships throughout the financial world and will be remembered for his integrity, loyalty and always-present humour.
From basketball in his early days to golf later in life, Bob enjoyed an active life outdoors. He became skilled in looking after and keeping tidy his "cottage by the sea" and relished preparing the pool for frequent family gatherings. He was a loving and generous uncle to many nieces and nephews and will always be remembered with love and laughter by his many devoted friends.
