ROBERT (BOB) SIMPSON It is with heavy hearts the family announces the passing of Robert (Bob) Simpson at the St. Boniface General Hospital on Sunday, April 28, 2013, at the age of 59. Bob was a devoted and loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and friend. He is survived by his loving wife Shirley; daughter Marilynn and extended families; his mother and father Bob and Betty Simpson; and his brother Jim (Debra). Bob worked at the Southdale Recreation Centre for many years and took great pride in his work and time there and loved seeing the joy in the young people's eyes who frequented the facility to play hockey and ringette. A very special thank you goes out to the staff at the St. Boniface Hospital Emergency and Palliative Care Units. A memorial service will be held in his honour at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, 2013, at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd.
