Robert NIHON Obituary
ROBERT A. NIHON II It is with overwhelming sadness that we announce that Robert Alexis Nihon II, son of Robert A. Nihon and Linda Gravelle, passed away suddenly on the morning of March 31, 2010, at the age of 35. He is predeceased by his father and namesake, Robert. He is survived by members of his immediate family, his mother Linda, his brother Gregory, and his fiancée Marie Lalonde, along with his uncles Alexis II (Cornelia) and Douglas Gravelle, his aunt Claudette Nihon, and his close cousins Sophia, Alexis, Patrick, Alyssa, Philip, Christina, Stephanie, and Julia. He will also be sorely missed by his countless friends and other loved ones. Rob was blessed with many talents and passions. He was a man of sport and a gifted musician. He successfully engaged in diverse business interests. He was above all a family man, and was due to be married in June of this year. For those who knew him best, he will be remembered most for his big-heartedness, his vibrant sense of humour, his loyalty, and a larger-than-life personality. He was an active member in the Lower Canada College alumni community and a graduate of Concordia University. He was also a generous supporter of a number of local charities. Rob was a loving and loyal son, brother, partner and friend and this is how he will be celebrated, admired and remembered by all those who knew and loved him. The family will receive condolences by invitation only, but is extremely grateful for the outpouring of love and support. The funeral service will be held on Monday April 5 at 1 p.m. at l'Église de La Présentation de la SteVierge, 665 de L'Église, Dorval, Quebec.
