Robert "Bob" Laurence Palmer

July 24, 2014

Bob passed away peacefully on Thursday July 24, 2014 in his home in Carstairs at the age of 74 years. Bob was born and raised in Calgary in Inglewood. He worked in Calgary as a draftsman for the City of Calgary. He left the city and moved to Delacour where he raised Saler Cattle and was the president of the Delacour community where he organized fundraising to build the Delacour community hall. Bob moved to Carstairs and continued to raise Saler Cattle. Bob had many interests, he played hockey, raised cattle, enjoyed gardening, fishing and curling. Most importantly he was an amazing father and grandpa. Bob is survived by his daughter, Beverly (Elliott) Imeson; son, Robert Palmer (Karen Daigle); grandchildren, Laurelle and Kent Imeson, Reagan and Mikayla Palmer. A Celebration of Life will be held at Bob’s property on Sunday, July 27, 2014 at 1:00 pm. We encourage everyone to share their fondest memories of Bob.

It is with sorrow that we heard of Bob's passing. He was an individual that we were proud to call a good friend. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend the celebration of Bob's life as we leave for two weeks as of today. May you be comforted in knowing that he was well thought of by many and will be dearly missed. He fought a good struggle but is now at peace with God. God is watching over all of you during this difficult time.

We were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was a great guy with a great sense of humour like all the Palmer boys. He loved to laugh and made everyone around him laugh too. He could tell a really good joke. Our sincere sympathy to all the family. He will be missed. Don and Sandra
