Robert Edward (Bob) Clark
August 23, 1927 – April 13, 2025
Bob was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to many including his wife Willa-Jean of 68 years, children Jane (Tim), Ted (Nora), Ron (Susan) and Howard (predeceased), grandchildren Colin, Andrew, Ryan, Tyler, Melissa and Emma. He was a brother to Anne, Ruth (predeceased), Bernice (predeceased) and Jack (predeceased), and uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Bob started life in Banner, Ontario and moved to Toronto in the 1950s before retiring with Jean to Haliburton. He spent his working life as a carpenter and woodworker. He used these skills to renovate and update their Rexdale home. He then turned his attention to building a cottage that later became their retirement home on Soyers Lake in Haliburton. This was the hub for many family and friend gatherings. When not tinkering and woodworking in the shop, he enjoyed being a curler, chorister, square dancer and always a reader. His gentle nature and good humour will be missed by his family and friends.

So sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was a really nice, kind man, and a good friend to Pearl and Alf. We met through St. Andrew’s. We really enjoyed visiting with him and Jean over the years. He loved it when John took him out in our boat at Soyers Lake or played golf. I was just thinking about Bob and Jean and hoping we could get up to see them when back in the TO area. Hugs to you all. Our sincere condolences to Jean, Jane, Ted and Ron – and families. Rest in Peace, Bob (Mr. Clark as John still refers to him).

Many fond memories of Mr. Clark as a Scout Leader, Outdoorsman, Harmonica player and a comedian. We were neighbours from my earliest memories and the Clarks still remain family friends 65 years later. Our condolences to all of you that have lost a wonderful Father, Grandfather and Husband .
