Robert CHILTON

August 30, 1928 - January 10, 2013

Robert Chilton passed away peacefully in Eagle Park Lodge with his family by his side. Bob was born to Nina and Arthur Chilton in Lloydminster Saskatchewan. Bob farmed the homestead and also worked in the oil fields and was a Maintenance Engineer in Sanqudo County, Alberta. Bob married Margaret in 1955 and they had two children, Brenda of Parksville and Allan of Leduc Alberta, Bob is survived by his three grandchildren, Brodie, Bailey and Blake and his two brothers Bill and Ed, nieces and nephews.

Bob was well known by family and friends for spending hours in his garage repairing anything he could get his hands on especially electronics or mechanical. His good sense of humour sincerity and helpfulness will surely be missed by all those that had the pleasure of knowing him.

A Celebration of Bob's life will be planned in the summer.
