. HATCH, Robert George Robert George Hatch, born November 10th, 1949, passed away on Sunday, June 22, 2014 at his home with his family at his side. Bob left us with the same integrity, tenacity and grit that he exhibited all of his life. A lifelong learner in every way, Bob had an opinion on everything and approached life head on. He loved his motorcycles, fishing and spending time at the shotgun range. He was an avid gardener and bird watcher. He always enjoyed a glass of wine with good friends. Bob owned and operated his own business in the Comox Valley for over 20 years. He was an active member of the community and was Past President and member of the Comox Rotary Club for many years. Bob is survived by his wife and best friend Ellen, his daughters Amber and Morgan and granddaughter Maya. He will be greatly missed by all. A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, June 28th, 2014 at 1:00 P.M. at Comox Valley Funeral Home, Courtenay. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations to the S.P.C.A or animal rescue centre of your choice would be appreciated in honour of Bob's love of animals.

I'm saddened to hear of Bobby's passing. While I didn't know him well, I recall the big family gatherings of the Oleniuk siblings, with Baba being the matriarch - the Christmases filled with perogies, cabbage rolls and all things Ukrainian. I remember when Bob and Ellen started their family and brought the wee babies to the gatherings. I recall Ellen telling me stories of life in the Columbia Valley, harvesting peas and the like. I haven't seen Bobby in years, but send my love and good wishes to Ellen, Amber and Morgan.

I will miss my visits with Bob in his Shop. So many interesting stories and discussions about family, friends and life in general. My thoughts are with you Ellen and your family.
