MacDougall, Robert “Bob” Darrell - moved on from our world Thursday, August 11, 2022 at 9 p.m. at home, surrounded by his wife and two sons who loved him dearly. His life, as it turns out “was more than he ever could have imagined for himself.” May we all have more than we ever imagined. He had a strong love of family, his wife, his home, and a few special friends who filled his cup. He often said his place was God given, as were all things to him, he was full of faith and prayed with all of his might for others and for the world. Bob was born in Nova Scotia to Robert and Irma (MacDonald) MacDougall.
He is survived by his wife and best friend, Diane (Higginbotham) MacDougall; his pride and joy, Dean (Jordana) and Ben (Tiffany); and his daughter, Jennifer; his siblings, Gary, Dale (Sheila), and Michele (Phil). Bob also leaves behind a niece, a number of nephews and many cousins near and far. He had a special bond with Emily and his nephew, Sam; we raised our families together and so we grew. He loved everyone, young Gary, Brian, Jeff, David and Evan. His second home was in Morell, PEI where he leaves behind extended family who all enriched his life. Many friends, old and new, I must mention his brothers were his best friends and another noted person to Bob was Murray Bezanson. Bob did it his way, loved his way and ran his show until the curtain closed. Well done, my love. The table is set for a great gathering.
Bob was predeceased by niece, Tess; his parents, grandparents, cousins, friends, and his dear father-in-law and long-time friend, Jack Higginbotham.
Bob was an adventurer, he loved to be close to heaven, skydiving and flying. He was an inventor and could fix anything with nothing. He was a mechanical wizard. A father who loved like a mother, a back road traveller from one end of Canada to the other but especially Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. An explorer, a treasure hunter, a rock hound, a gold seeker, a life long learner with a passion for the age of sail and pirates. He was a giver not a receiver. Bob loved nature and for a time in his life was an avid fisher and hunter. Bob would help a person in need on the street, if you feel the need to make a contribution, say hello to someone suffering and share what you have with others less fortunate.
“You, Bob, will be in my heart and I will carry you until we meet again.”
