Langille, Robert “Bob” - It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Robert “Bob” Langille, 80, of Truro on Friday, May 15, 2020. Born in Truro, he was the son of the late John and Freda Langille.
He is survived by his children, Kathy (Karen Mills), Truro; Bobby (Joan), Tatamagouche; Michelle (Tony) Richards, Onslow; grandchildren, John (Barya) Kimber, Alberta; Adam (Rhian) Langille, British Columbia; and Holly (Chris) Isnor, PEI; great-grandchildren, Soraya, Brin, Lucas and Jade; his special companion, Gail Snair, Truro; and siblings, Diane Lindsay (Bob Standing), Truro; Claudia Cavanaugh (Erven Trefry), Truro; and John (Eleanor) Langille, Brookside.
Besides his parents, Bob was predeceased by his loving wife of 60 years, Evangeline “Vangie” and sister, Carol Ann Johnson.
Bob was loving father and cared deeply about family. He was an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Bob had a big heart and was always the first to lend a helping hand. He enjoyed bowling, watching Truro Bearcats games, loved all sports and had a special love for animals, especially his fur companion, Maggie.
Bob enjoyed the 10 years he and Vangie wintered in Florida, spending much of his time playing horseshoes and proudly displaying all the trophies he won. Bob spent his summers camping at Sunset Watch in Brule. He was a hard worker and took great pride in making sure the grounds there were kept in tip top shape and worked diligently to keep all the mowers running smoothly.
The family will hold a celebration of life after the COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted and it is safe to gather.
Donations in Bob’s memory may be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or the SPCA.
Thank you to the staff of the Palliative Care Ward of the Colchester East Hants Health Centre, with special thanks to Isabel and Cara.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit.
