ROBERTS, Malcolm Winston
March 20, 1941 - June 19, 2013
Malcolm Winston Roberts passed away in the presence of his loving family at the Rockyview Hospital in Calgary on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at the age of 72 years. He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years Judy; his two daughters Dawn Roberts and Lorna Uniacke, her husband Sean and his grandchildren Mitchell and Lauren; his Uncle Irvin, Amparo and family in Spain, his Aunty Naomi and Aunty Marie and his extended cousins and family in Trinidad including the Mitchell's, Kasmally's and Lutchman's. Malcolm was predeceased by his parents Charles and Selma "Dolly" Roberts. His family would like to extend a special thanks to the Rockyview Emergency Department and Unit 93 along with Dr. David Todd and Dr. Matt Van Olm and their staff for their outstanding care and support. Malcolm was born on March 19, 1941 in the city of St. James in Trinidad, West Indies. Trinidad is where he learned his love for life and where he gained his nickname of "Bunny". He left Trinidad in the early 1960's for England where he attended St. Mary's College and worked at City & Guilds. England is where he met and married Judy in 1966 and welcomed his first born Dawn. They immigrated to Canada in 1970 where they made Calgary their new home and welcomed Lorna to the family. His career included retail, sales and customer service until he retired in 2011 from Star Choice/Shaw. Malcolm always put his family first, loved to make people laugh and had a song for any occasion. He was grounded in his faith, was the ultimate Stampeders' football fan, and found great happiness in being around his colleagues and friends. He was a role model, a mentor and a true gentleman. A Celebration of his Life will be held at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (703 Heritage Drive S.W.) on Monday, June 24, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. A reception will take place at the church following the service.
