Robert Lyle "Bob" Peacock

PEACOCK _ Robert Lyle Bob was born on December 31, 1932 in Vancouver to James and Esther. He passed away unexpectedly and peacefully in the early morning of Thursday, June 15, 2006, surrounded by his family. Predeceased by his loving wife Donna (nee Mulligan), Bob will be deeply missed by his devoted family, daughter Sheila, son David, daughter-in-law Nobue and granddaughter Sonia. Bob was close to his twin brother Sid, sister-in-law Marie, sister-in-law Doris, brother-in-law Dave, sister-in-law Mary Ann and many nieces, nephews, family and friends; he was the most loving, generous, thoughtful and supportive man. He was a life-long teacher, as well as student. After graduating from Lord Byng High School, he studied Forestry, Commerce and Education at UBC. Bob chose teaching as a career, touching thousands of students and colleagues in Vancouver as a classroom teacher, as a counsellor and as the Business Education Coordinator for the Vancouver School Board. After retiring, he continued to work as a sought-after volunteer for many organizations including the Retired Teachers Association, the Vancouver Heritage Foundation, the BC Tour Guides Association and more. He loved the city and could tell the best stories about Vancouver's history, neighbourhoods and characters. Bob worked hard as the Assistant Returning Officer for Vancouver Quadra for both the provincial and federal elections. He was happy making many plans when we suddenly lost him. The family wishes to thank everyone for their support. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Camp Byng Development Fund, c/o Scouts Canada, 664 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V5Z 1G1, would be appreciated. Dad was active in Scouting and he was proud of all the work that Mom did to preserve Camp Byng. A service to celebrate Bob's life will be held on Monday, June 26 at 2:00 pm, at St. Phillip's Anglican Church, 3737 West 27th Avenue in Vancouver.
