WEDDERBURN: (Bob) Robert Allen, beloved son of the late Alexander John, and Joyce Dorothy, awesome brother, to Doug (Shelley), Richard (Yvette), David, Betty, Les (Loree).

God father to Richard Brown and special friend to Jennifer and Christian Kennedy. Bob was born in Hamiota on October 20, 1957. Bob was raised on the family farm in the municipality of Daly attending school in Bradwardine and Rivers. He worked many jobs around the community. He enjoyed working with animals which led him to the Brandon Research Department, this is where he met a mentor and great friend in Bob McKay, and they worked together for the next twenty-one years. Bob ran his own business for many years known as Wedderburn Septic Service. This business also included porta potties to which he managed as long as he was able. Bob spent his last working years with Redsper and was very dedicated to doing a job he was proud of. He took great pride in his house and yard and if he couldn't be found he was probably doing an odd job as a favor for someone. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends in which he considered the Brown family to be both and loved them all. After a short and courageous battle Bob passed away peacefully on October 16th at the Brandon Regional Health Centre.
