JACKSON, Robert John - January 17, 1930 – September 30, 2020
Peacefully, in his sleep, Bob passed away in his 91st year.
He leaves his beloved wife of 69 years, Anne, his 8 children, Bob Jr. (Justine), Valerie (Bruce), Jeff (Wendy), David (Sandy), Bruce, Tim (Lynn), Dan and James (Arlene), his 12 grandchildren, Christopher (Marta), Danielle (Dave), Kaitlin (Cassie), Steven, Laura, Vicky (Curtis), Devin, Samantha (Geoff), Taylor, Hunter, Courtanie (Bryan) and Sarah, and his 5 great-grandchildren, Alexander, Violet, Sean, Henry and Knox.
Bob was born in Montreal, the middle son of George and Edna. He was predeceased by his parents and both brothers, Peter and Stuart.
His family moved to Toronto when he was a child and he lived his entire life in the city's west end.
He met the love of his life, Anne, in Grade 9 at Humberside Collegiate. He married Anne in 1952 and by the time he was 36 they were raising their 8 children.
As the patriarch of a huge and growing family, he will be greatly missed.
As a result of gathering restrictions, a service for immediate family only will be held on Wednesday, October 7th at 2 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Alzheimer Society of Canada in Bob's memory would be greatly appreciated.
