Obituary of Bob Kelly
Kelly: Robert Wayne -
The Kelly family is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Wayne Kelly at the age of 84. Loving husband of the late Annette Kelly with whom they shared 40 years of marriage. He leaves behind his children Garth Kelly, Laurie Ann Lane(Craig), Shawn Kelly (Amie), James Neaves (deceased) and Lisa Kelly (Raymond Gibson).
Proud Grandfather to Gavin Lane (Natalia), Bailey Lane, Connor Kelly, Sarah Whaley, Dayna Gibson (Chris) and Dylan Gibson; Great grandfather to Sebastian and Gabriella Lane, Avery and Liam Paddenburg. Lovingly remembered by his sister Sandra Longhurst.
The family would like to thank the amazing nurses and PSW’s who have cared for Bob for the last 2 years at Orchard Village Long Term Care home in Pickering, ON. They provided such amazing care to “Bobby“ as the ladies loved to call him. They loved him quickly and cared for him with all their hearts. We can not thank them enough. Bob’s passing leaves a big hole in all of our hearts. No more suffering and now its time to play Bingo and go fishing with Annette as they are reconnected in the after life.
In keeping with Bob's wishes, cremation has taken place. Bob will be honoured privately by his family at a later date.
