CARROT RIVER UNITED CHURCH:
***************************
Robert attended Elfros School.
As a young man, he worked in bush camps
at Fort Frances, Perth, and, Kenora in Ontario.
He also worked with Patricia Transport on the freight haul from Sheridan to Lynn Lake in Manitoba.
He was employed with Saskatchewan Power from 1952 until his retirement in 1983.
After his marriage, he and Bertha spent
their early married years moving throughout Saskatchewan as power lines were being constructed. During this time he worked
as digger operator and link belt and crane operator at Squaw Rapids. After the dam was completed, Robert spent a brief time setting towers around Regina, then returned to Carrot River and continued to work at the dam. His main job then, was to pull logs out of the water with the crane. He often said: "If I had
a dollar for every log I pulled, I would be a very rich man."
He was a member of the Carrot River Branch of the Wildlife Federation. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, and the great outdoors.
He enjoyed playing cards in the winter at
the curling rink and spent many hours in the summer golfing at Pasquia Regional Park.
He had a special bond with his grandchildren, taking them fishing, for drives to look for
deer, and they all helped him feed the birds.
He was diagnosed with lung cancer in December 1996 and was hospitalized in January 1998 in the Carrot River Hospital.
His quiet acceptance of his situation and his sense of humor ware an inspiration to his many friends that visited with him.
He enjoyed reminiscing about hunting trails and bush camps and enjoyed all the visitors.

A MESSAGE TO DAD:
*****************
Today is a day we knew would come, but it is still so hard to accept. I can still see you cruising the countryside looking for deer, or hear you shuffling cards in the kitchen. But most important, I can feel the love you had for us all. You many not have been the mushy type, but you had a way of showing us - especially our kids. I'm glad they got to spend 'Grandpa' time with you - even the teasing!
Some people leave this earth suddenly - not getting to tell their loved ones how much they mean to them. We were lucky to have that chance. We are so proud of you, Dad - you fought hard in you own quiet strong way. Although it was awful to watch you go, we wouldn't have let you go alone.
Rest peacefully, Dad. Love forever.
