Robert James Hunka
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert James Hunka on October 30, 2025 at the age of 76 years. Bob is survived by his loving wife; Janice of 42 years, along with his 3 children, Michelle (James), Jeremy (Caytlin), Justine (Scott), and his 7 beautiful Grandchildren; Alexander, Lucas, Thor, Emarie, Khloe, Skarlett, and Nash.
Bob was a proud member of the Edmonton Fire Department for 29 years, retiring his career as Captain in 2007. Of all the special gifts in life, however big or small, to have Bob as a husband, father, brother, uncle, and papa is the greatest gift of all. None on earth can take your place. Remember Bob with a smile; he was not one for tears. Be reminded of all the fond memories made over the years.
Bob was predeceased by his parents, Nicholas Hunka and Ellen Hunka Nee Scraba, and his sister, Cathy Hermary.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all the doctors and nursing staff of the U of A Mazankowski Heart Institute CVICU for all their exceptional care and support for the last month.
