I. BIRKS Obituary
On Wednesday, December 4, 2013. No service by request.
"…for the time will most assuredly come …"
I was fortunate to be the son, brother, husband, father and grandfather of a wonderful family. Brought up by loving parents, supported by a sister, Deirdre and brother Ian, who were more than generous of their time. Made proud by my daughter Katherine and sure of the future accomplishments of my most special grand daughter, Elandil. Above all, through thick and thin, good times and bad, with love and thanks to my wife Pauline, who has treated me far better than I ever deserved. And finally, to the Craft for the lessons provided, and the good men met.

Bob was a really sincere and friendly
individual who could make one belonging and appreciated. I was always happy in his company.

I worked with Bob at Bell and always remember his refreshing conversations and stories of his motorcycle trips and his vintage Chevy. Sorry to hear of his passing.. he was a good guy.

Bob Birks was as very good friend of mine and I will certainly miss him. He was a courageous man, and a very generous person. May God's blessing be upon him.
