GEE, Robert (Bob) William Sydney July 4, 1924 - August 28, 2008 The family of Bob Gee announce his passing on Thursday, August 28, at the age of 84 years. Bob is lovingly remembered by his wife, Jeanne, of fifty-five years, his daughters and sons-in-law, Barbara Crawford, Melanie and Rod Ridley, Sharon and Bob Ogilvie and Audrey and Rob Campbell and his grandchildren, Pamela, Sandy, Brent, Ben, Krista, Jeana and Kendra. Bob was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB, where he was the second youngest of eight children. He served in the Navy as an able seaman and completed his BA and LLB degrees upon his return. Following his marriage to Jeanne and relocation to Calgary, Bob practiced law for many years and briefly in Regina. Bob was active with the Rotary Club of Calgary South and was awarded an honorary lifetime membership in 2003. He was fond of many active pursuits, including skiing, golfing and curling. Bob and Jeanne were active members of St. Peter's Anglican Church, where they served in various capacities. Bob had a love for music, especially hymns, musical theatre and light opera. His sense of humour and poetry were legendary. Family and friends were inspirations for and delighted recipients of his Ogden Nash style poetry. Our family wishes to extend our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Bob's many, many fine friends and caregivers from the Colonel Belcher Care Centre. Their kindness and support will always be remembered.
