Obituary of Bob (Robert) Johnson
Bob passed away peacefully, surrounded by his girls, on October 20, 2023 at the age of 81. Bob was a loving and devoted husband of 59 years to Colleen. Cherished father to Terry (Joe) Gianetto and Kim (Mark) Boulton. Beloved Grandpa to Joey (Rachel), Kyle (Mackenzie), Dean (Rylee), Taylor (Dan), and Ashley (Marcus). Proud great-grandpa to Emery, Greyson, and Maeve. Bob will also be dearly missed by his adored canine companions, Parker and Nellie. Predeceased by his brother Ted and his sister Pat.Born in 1942, Bob was a lifelong resident of St. Catharines. Bob worked as a Millwright at Cynamide for over 30 years before moving on to a role in maintenance at Campbell's, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He loved the great outdoors, whether he was embarking on camping trips with his family or sharing his passion for hunting and fishing with his grandchildren. In his younger years, Bob served as a Scout leader for a decade. He also enjoyed woodworking.
Bob was known for his easy-going nature, his love of animals, and his willingness to lend a hand whenever needed. A true jack of all trades, Bob's knowledge and skills were endless, and he was always the go-to person when anyone needed assistance. Bob's memory will live on in the hearts of all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to Hospice Niagara for their extraordinary care, as well as the dedicated nurses on the third floor at NHS-St. Catharines.
