Withrow, Robert “Bob” Weir – Age 83 ½, Elmsdale, passed away peacefully December 15, 2021 in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro, surrounded by his family. Born in Elmsdale, Bob was a son of the late John and Ada (Weir) Withrow.
Bob’s profession for the majority of his life was in the sheet metal trade. He was actively involved in playing baseball and hockey, and up to his final moments always enjoyed watching the games on tv, especially with his two grandsons. His favourite hockey team was the Toronto Maple Leafs, but he would not admit that to you. If you were ever looking for Bob, all you had to do was be over at the Elmsdale Legion where he could be found indulging in many crib games with his friends. He always said he could go 24 hours a day.
Bob will be missed by his loving wife of 55 years, Mazie (White); daughter, Lisa (Rob) Stone; sons, Jay, Todd, Tracy; sisters, Dianne Isenor, Carol (Glen) Brown. He was always a very special “Papa” and “Grampy” to Connor and Aiden. He will be forever remembered by several nieces and nephews and a great group of friends. He was predeceased by brothers, Russell and John.
A graveside funeral service will be held at Sandy Hill Cemetery, Belnan, in the spring of 2022.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia.
Special thanks to Dr. Nadour and the ICU staff.
Arrangements are under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit.
