ROBERT (BOB) LAURENCE It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Robert (Bob) Laurence on Sunday, March 5, 2017. He leaves to grieve his four children, Mike, Danny, Paul and Julie-anne; his 13 amazing grandchildren; and his Laurence and Thevenot family. Robert was predeceased by his mother and father Roma and Roland Laurence, his mother-in-law and father-in-law Anna and Louis Thevenot. He was also predeceased by his beautiful wife and one true love Rose-Marie. He never stopped loving her all these years, and the only comfort we have now it that they are together watching over us. Robert loved spending his time with his grandchildren, they gave him so much love and joy. He enjoyed taking them camping, playing crib, colouring or just joking around. His grandkids will always remember him by papa, papa Bob, G, grumpa or banana. He also love going to the casino, whether it was Club Regent or making the drive to Shooting Star. Usually he would have his brother and best friend Roger along with him. They would spend hours playing slots and eating late night snacks. And we can't forget to mention his dog and sidekick Bear. As our dad would say he was the one and only in the family that never talked back. Ha Ha Ha, right dad? Robert lived and dedicated his life to his family. Robert's family had a private ceremony on Friday, March 10, 2017 at Desjardins Funeral Chapel. Desjardins 204-233-4949 1-888-233-4949 www.desjardinsfuneralchapel.ca
