ROBERT GEORGE PARNEY

April 11, 1937 - March 30, 2025 On March 30th, in the Town of The Blue Mountains, surrounded by his family. Bob was born in Edmonton, the fourth and youngest child of Margaret and George Parney. He spent summers at the family cottage in Kapasiwin on Lake Wabamun and spent his youth working as a brakeman on the Northern Alberta Railway. He moved east as a young man but remained passionate about the west and railways all his life. He was forever an Oilers fan. In Montreal and Toronto, Bob embarked on a long and story-filled career in the investment industry. He met and married Jean and together they raised three kids, enjoying cottage summers at Pointe au Baril and later off-seasons in the Blue Mountains. Bob was interested in many different things and seemed to know something about everything - a Renaissance man. He had at least one tool for all needs and enjoyed working on projects wherever he was. There was always a place for everything and everything in its place - and he knew when it wasn't! Beloved husband of 57 years to the late Jean; much loved father to Jennifer Parney, Robin (Tim) Saunders and Chris (Danielle) Parney. Loving Grandad to Mitchell, Thomas, Matthew, Owen, Emma and Sarah. A dear brother to Anne Bawden, the late Ruth McKinley, the late Fred Parney; brother-in-law to Alexandra Baker and Ted Olver; and uncle to many nieces and nephews. A celebration of Bob's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Jasper Fire Caring Community Fund or the Georgian Bay Land Trust at GBLT.org.
