Left to cherish many fond memories of Bob are his loving wife Ruth of 63 1/2 years, Daughter in law Anne, three sons, Ron (Yvonne), Terry (Peta), Loren (Sheila). Brothers Hugh, Melvin (Jean), Don (Elsie), Sisters in law, Dell McDougall, Gladys (George) Milne, Brother in law, Roy(Fran) Lonseth, 13 Grandchildren, 7 Great Grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, and a host of good friends. Bob, the oldest son in the family was born on January 24, 1925 on a farm near Kennedy, Sk. Except for one winter spent working for the CNR in Regina, he spent the early part of his life helping his Dad on the farm. In the mid-thirties his family moved to a farm east of Langbank, which Bob later purchased, and it was there Bob began farming on his own. On July 12, 1949 he married Ruth Lonseth of Dinsmore, Sk, and for the next 63 1/2 years, the couple enjoyed country living, and the happiness brought by having many good friends. They were blessed with four sons - Alvin, Ron, Terry and Loren. In the fall of 2011 they sold their house, and for 2 months lived with family in Regina, before moving to their new home in Moosomin. The couple very much enjoyed their year together there. They were visiting family in Regina during the holidays, when Bob was suddenly taken from us. Funeral service will be held in the Moosomin Convention Center (by the rink, on Wright Road) in Moosomin, Sk on Saturday January 12, 2013, at 11 am, with Jim Atcheson and Agnes Smiley officiating.
