Robert Crerar

CRERAR, Robert Archibald Born on September 25, 1946, Bob was surrounded by family when he journeyed home to his Lord at sunrise September 18, 2014 after a very brave battle with brain cancer. He is survived by his loving wife and soul mate, Suzanne, son Chris (Melody), daughter Bobbi, brother John (Mary), 6 grandchildren and a wee baby great-granddaughter. Bob was predeceased by parents Neil and Vi and his brother Ronald. A truck driver for over 50 years he was highly respected by truckers for his work ethic and incredible loyalty. Bob's spirit of gentleness and generosity touched the lives of many. Our hearts are broken that he has passed from our midst yet filled with the knowledge that we will once again see him. Many thanks to the staff and volunteers at Saanich Peninsula Hospital for their gentle care and compassion for Bob and all of his family - your names will be forever etched upon our hearts. Thank you too to Rev. Osita, to our parish family of St. Andrew's and our Diocesan family whose prayers and support gave strength and hope to us as we journeyed down this path in which sorrow and heartbreak were unwanted companions. Your names too remain in our hearts. Bob's Celebration of Life will be held at St. Andrew's Anglican Church, 9691 Fourth St. Sidney on Tuesday, October 7th at 2.30pm. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Bob can be made to St. Andrew's. "Behold I will never forget you. See, I have carved you on the palms of my hands." Isaiah 49.15,16
