Robert (Bob) Patterson

Bob was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan on June 28, 1951. He was the third child having 2 older sisters, Patricia and Marie and soon to follow was sister Alice and to Bob’s great delight his brother Herb. Bob did all his schooling in Saskatchewan but could not find work so he moved to Alberta in 1970. He found employment with N.A.D.P. (Dairyland) and worked in Edmonton for 5 years before accepting a franchise in Edson where he ran his own company for 32 years. He then worked at NAPA for a few years before working at Contour Construction for the last 7 years before retiring.

In 1974 he met the love of his life, Shiela. He welcomed her and her 2 children, Elliott and Kimberlee, into his family when they married in 1976. The next year son Rob arrived to complete their family. Bob loved family first and foremost and spent many hours teaching them about the outdoors. Hunting, fishing and camping were among his favorite things to do. All his children were taught how to do these activities. Time spent with family and friends was very important to him. Bob also served his community first in St. Catherine’s Anglican Church and then with Rotary International. He served with Rotary over 20 years and held most positions. He also traveled to Mexico twice once with a school bus and then a fire truck to be delivered to needy communities in and around Mazatlán.
