Tribute

Reginald Frederick Robson (June 1, 1933 – April 17, 2011) passed away peacefully on April 17, at the age of 77, with his devoted wife Eunice at his side and surrounded by his loving family, at Moog and Friends Hospice in Penticton BC. Reg was predeceased by his parents Frederick and Mary Robson of Dauphin Manitoba. He was born in Dauphin and raised on the pioneer homestead farm settled by his ancestors in the 1800’s. Reg met Eunice, the love of his life at a high school dance. Together for 57 years, they raised their three children in Manitoba where Reg led a successful career in Public Service, beginning in Forestry, working as the Assistant Deputy Minister of Northern Affairs, retiring from Municipal Finance in Winnipeg. Reg and Eunice retired to BC where he enjoyed golf at Fairview Mountain, playing pool at the Oliver Legion, gardening and travel with his wife and many good friends. Reg will be remembered for his exceptional generosity, his fine sense of humour and his commitment to family and friends. Reg lived his life with dignity and integrity, recognized by all who knew him as a man of his word, who was always willing to lend a hand to help others. Reg was proud to volunteer in recent years as a driver for the Masonic Cancer Car Program. Cherished as a loving husband, father and grandfather, Reg leaves to mourn his wife Eunice Robson, his children Christine Robson of Winnipeg, Craig Robson of Burnaby, Alanna Robson and her husband Michael Pierce of Maple Ridge, his grandchildren Kelsey and Brandon Pierce of New Westminster BC. Reg is survived by his older brother and best friend Walter Robson and his wife Doreen Robson of Dauphin, a younger brother and two sisters, many nieces and nephews.
Great appreciation is extended to the caring physicians and nurses of Penticton Hospital, the Penticton Renal Clinic, and Moog and Friends Hospice. Respecting Reg’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will take place at the Oliver Legion Hall at 2:00 P.M. on Thursday April 21, 2011.
Our family’s chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same.
As God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Reg’s memory to Moog and Friends Hospice in Penticton, BC or to the Okanagan-Similkameen Hospital Foundation, or the Masonic Cancer Car Program.
