McFARLANE, John Robert (Bob)
June 11, 1937 - September 30, 2024
Born on June 11, 1937, in Edson Alberta, passed away at home on September 30, 2024, in Victoria, BC.
He is survived by his wife Maureen Ruth (Danard) of 63 years, son Robert Scott of Vancouver BC, daughters Dawn Maureen and Shannon Lee both of Victoria. Grandsons Lochlain and Alec Broadley, sisters Rena Joy (Al) Stelter and Sharon Gayle of Edmonton Alberta, sister-in-law Vivian of Victoria and numerous nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by brothers David and Rod and sisters Mary Ellen Price and Irene Stadnick. Bob spent a lifetime as a cattleman and in his younger days a foundation partner in an Edmonton Livestock Brokerage firm before retiring to Vancouver Island to raise Quarter Horses and purebred Romney sheep. Bob was never as happy as he was when he was surrounded by his family, livestocks and his bulldogs. He was a kind, determined, loving and always a man of his word. He will be greatly missed by Maureen, his forever love and his children and grandchildren. Even though Bob prepared his family for life's challenges, his passing leaves a hole in this closely knitted family.
A Traditional Funeral will be held on October 8, 2024 at 2 pm, in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Dr, Victoria.
