Robert WEST Obituary

Born and raised in Victoria BC, Robert, “Bob” as his friends knew him, was husband to wife Judy, dad to sons Scott and Dale, father-in-law to Dallas and Alison, granddad to Ryan, Emily, Courtney and Carter, and friend to everyone who met him. Pre-deceased by his brother Ron, and parents Bea and Charles, Bob was an autobody technician by trade and a race car and golf lover by heart. Robert never met a car he couldn’t fix, a home improvement project he couldn’t tackle, or an early morning coffee chat with friends that he couldn’t pass up. Sitting around a campfire made him happy, watching his kids and grandkids play sports made him smile, and a good glass of red wine made him feel relaxed. We will miss your sage advice, common sense discussions, and your sense of humour. Never one to complain, Robert accepted life’s challenges and always maintained a positive outlook. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him – Rest well Dad, you’ve earned it.

Private cremation through First Memorial Services. Flowers are gratefully declined. Celebration of life to be held at a later date.

Robert hired me to help around their place from a sign ad I posted at Willis Point. He was a generous and patient man and I am lucky and better off because I knew him. Thank you and rest peacefully Robert.

My condolences go out to all of the West family. Coffee at Francelli's won't be the same without Bob's smile & wit.

Judy and Family - We were saddened to hear the news about Bob. Where ever you saw him, he greeted you with a smile. Gary said Whenever I wrecked the race car, Bob would always fix it with a humorous comment and a smile. He will be missed. He was a wonderful man.

Judy and family, we are so sorry to hear of Bobs passing. Bob was ever the gentleman and a friend who was very generous to us in car racing days. A great guy who will be very much missed by family and by friends. Mike is glad that he had a good chat with him at Ross Surgenors celebration of life. Please accept our sincere condolences and, if possible, we would like to know when a celebration of life is planned.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss, Robert was a character. Never short on words, and never short that boy-ish grin and smile. He will be sadly missed by everyone. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything @ all. Dan and Holly.

Judy, we were so sorry to hear of Roberts passing this morning. Ed met Robert in 1965 when working for Morrison Chevrolet Olds, he was one of the first friends he made after moving to Victoria from Alberta.
Ed held Robert as a special friend and regrets that they did not get together more often than they did. The words in the obituary were beautiful and said it all.
Our condolences to you and your family. Sincerely Ed and Judy Bohnet
