ROBERT (BOB) BERTHRAM PIERRE

February 20, 1942 - August 8, 2023

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Bob, a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He peacefully departed this world at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, surrounded by the love and presence of his family.

Bob was a pillar of love and strength within his family. His devotion to his wife, Linda, was unwavering throughout their remarkable 55-year journey together. A doting father, he leaves behind his cherished son, Michael (Christine); his grandchildren, Elise (Daniel), Aaron (Erin), Randy, Jack, Cyril (Michelle), Autumn, Kaleb, David, Alex, Terrence, Bobbi, and Rebecca; and great-grandchildren, Alexander, Olivia, Leonardo, Owen, Chloe, Sadie, Shaylyn, and Pîsim; siblings, Roland, Marlene, Donna, Cheryl, Margie, and Eldon, along with numerous nieces and nephews.

Bob was predeceased by his grandparents, Jack and Elizabeth; parents, Cyril and Margaret; son, Robert (Bobbi); brothers, Leon and John.

Born and raised in Fort William, ON, Bob and his family moved to Winnipeg for his career as a millwright with CP Rail in 1972. He worked at the Weston Shop for 30 years.

The Pierre family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated doctors, nurses, and staff at St. Boniface Hospital.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 13 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at St. Norbert Arts Centre.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly request donations to Parkinson Canada in honour of Bob's memory.

Those we love don't go away,

they walk beside us every day.

Unseen, unheard, but always near;

still loved, still missed, and very dear.
