ATKINSON, Robert "Bob" Atkinson -
1940 - 2023
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Atkinson on August 11, 2023 at the age of 82.
He was the beloved husband of Wendy for 61 years.
Caring father to Dave (Kim) and Stan (Nancy).
Proud Poppa to Lily, Leo, Maeve, John, Colin and Darcy.
Treasured brother of Doug. He will be greatly missed by his extended family and friends.
Bob was a very generous and giving person. He volunteered as the Peewee Convenor of the Leaside Baseball Association for more than 35 years. He also served Northlea United church as choir member and treasurer. He served on numerous charity causes including Community Care East York, Junior Achievement and the Street Kids Foundation.
Bob enjoyed cruising with Wendy on Holland America ships and they were fortunate to see much of the world together.
Bob broke the mould as an accountant with a lively personality and sense of humour!
The end came quickly and peacefully with Wendy and Dave by his side.
The family would like to thank the staff of Amica Pickering for their care and concern over the last year, and especially the last few weeks.
A celebration of life will be held at Northlea United Church 125 Brentcliffe Rd. Toronto on August 29 at 11 am.
