OAKDEN, Robert (Rob) In his 68th year, passed away on December 12, 2017 at RVH with his wife by his side. Loving husband of 30 years to Linda. Pre-deceased by his father Gord and his sister Janet. Survived by his mother Gwen, brothers Dave (Kathie), Jim (Karen), sister Cathy (Les) and sister-in-law Susan (John). Rob will be sadly missed by all his nieces and nephews as well as great-nieces and nephews, most especially by his niece Michelle and her sons Josh, Paxton and Jamison who will no longer share jokes or hear fun facts from their uncle Rob. His friends at the Barrie Yacht Club, Snow Valley Ski School and CADS (Canadian Association for Disabled Skiers) will feel the void left without his unending patience, sense of humour and willingness to always help others. On Saturday, December 30, 2017, a celebration of life will be held between 1:30 - 4:00 at Sheba Shrine, 142 John St., Barrie. Remembrances/ service to start at 2:00.
