Robert SIEW Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 9 to Feb. 10, 2017.
SIEW, Sr., Robert David
Robert David Siew, Sr., born on 13 March 1969, passed away suddenly on the 7 February 2017. He is leaving behind his loving partner Tamara of 30 years and their three children: Robert (Brittni), Justin (Nikki), and Courtney (Luke). He will be missed by his mother, siblings, nephews, nieces and adoring cousins. He is preceded in death by his father Bal and brother Sidney. Robert was a devoted husband and dedicated father who loved nothing more than the time spent with his family. Apart from family, Robert's passion was the sea; a keen mariner and sport fisherman he spent much of his free time reveling in the joys of the ocean. Robert enjoyed countless hours on his boat, with family and friends passing on his knowledge of fishing and the sea. While he enjoyed the thrill of the catch, he enjoyed the joy of cooking the prize even more. There wasn't a species of fish that Robert couldn't prepare as a delicious delicacy - often explaining how to prepare some exotic species of fish that few had heard of. When not out on the ocean, Robert's passion for the sea continued through his collecting of fishing equipment, tackle, and antique nautical instruments. Robert was truly a special man, a man of principles, and a friend to all he met - dedicated to family above all else. While taken from us much too soon, he will be forever missed by all those who loved him. A service to celebrate "all that was Robert" will be held on Lake Worth Beach (by the pier) on Saturday, 11 February at sunset, 6:00PM. Black suits and boring black dresses are NOT required. Fishing poles are optional. Fair Winds and Following Seas

Rob I miss you bro

Robert we were schocked at your sudden passing. We remember you well. When nobody could find you when you were a child and teenager we just had to check the pier and sure enough find you fishing alone or sometimes with your Grandmother. One time your Dad tried to tell you that you could not leave the house... guess what he put the fishing rod out the window and jumped out after it and took off. Well he did not leave the house and nobody said he could not jump out the window. There were many funny episodes. We will miss you !

My brother and best friend... we shared an intrinsic bond that we never had to express. I am writing my 3rd entry to YOU my kindred brother. Remember the trip in Herthums boat? I miss you Adventurer. I have lost part of me, my other half, my pal. No one could ever take ur place. Enjoy fishing forever, I hear it's just Heavenly. Whisper in my ear, I'll be listening.

I cannot adequately express how sorry I am for your loss. Robert was one of those people that just "glowed". His energy and joy of life was infectious. I know that both my Mother and Father loved him like one of their own. All our love ... Louise and Family

I met Robbie a few times over the years as I am very close to the Siew family. Rob was such a good guy and loaded with personality. My most sincere condolences to Tamara and their kids.
I'm simply in shock.
