BELLAND, Robert (Robby) With heavy hearts and profound sadness we announce the passing of Robby on May 24, 2008 at the age of 52. He died at home quietly, as he lived, after a two year battle with colon cancer. He was a loving and devoted father to Cody (his best friend). He is predeceased by his father Rolland and sister Yolande. Left to mourn are his mother Claire Sloan, brothers Gary (Barbara), Basil, Wayne (Susie), and sisters Shereen (Beatty), Pauline (Gerry), Linda, Brenda (Lou), and Tina (Tim). He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. Special thanks to his two angels, his sister Pauline who was his rock during his entire illness, and Debbie Paulin (Cody's mother) for the unselfish giving of their time and providing the care and compassion he so greatly needed. Thanks to his friends, family, co-workers, (especially Lou Boyer and Susan Ivorchuck) for the calls, visits and encouragement throughout his illness. To Lucie and Helene at CLSC in Aylmer, your assistance was greatly appreciated. Friends may call at the Ringrose Brothers Funeral Home in Campbell's Bay, Quebec, Friday, May 30th from 1 to 3 p.m. Service to follow immediately in the funeral home.
