Robert Gordon Mennie

February 23, 2015

Robert Gordon Mennie, aged 77, passed away on February 23rd, 2015 with his family by his side. He is now finally at peace and back in the loving arms of his beloved wife Joyce.

After a short but memorable stint as a young merchant marine, Bob married his sweetheart, and soon began a life long career at Scott Paper in New Westminster. His unceasing work ethic, natural leadership abilities, sharp wit and sense of humor, earned the respect and love of all who met him.

Bob loved golfing, bowling and woodworking. Gardening and working in his yard was also one of his favorite activities.

Dad’s amazing spirit lives on with his three sons; Rob (Lilly), Randy (Claire) and Brad (Kelly); seven grandchildren; Drew (Ashley), Melinda (Patrick), Amanda (John), Allana, Dillon, Randall and Taylor and two great-grandchildren; Claire and Tyson.

He will be truly missed …

A celebration of his life will be held at The Timbers Club, 3090 Dayanee Springs Blvd., Coquitlam, BC on Saturday, March 7, 2015 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

In lieu of flowers please send donations to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Bob and Joyce’s name.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence for the family.

Sorry that you have left us for a while. I wish you had been able to see your great granddaughter.

I feel blessed to have shared so many precious moments with my Granddad and I know I will cherish them forever. He will live on in the stories his family and the ones who knew him best tell year after year. His memory will be remembered every trip down to Vegas and with each walk down the produce section. I will make sure my daughter knows who her Great Grandfather was. Thank you Granddad, for everything you have taught us. Give Grandma a hug from all of us.
