RICHARDSON, Robert 'Bob' Edward - (1939 - 2021) - Passed peacefully on April 28, 2021, at his home on Farmingdale Road, Toronto, at the age of 81.
Bob was born on a farm located in the Cummer Valley, October 19, 1939, to Chrissie and Walter Richardson, and was the youngest of 4 boys, Bruce, John and Don (all deceased).
Life on the farm taught him his strong work ethic, rising with the sun to complete chores before school, the unbreakable bond of family, friends and animals and a true love of tending the earth and the people around him.
He met the love of his life, Penny (nee Robertson), when she rode her horse into his field, and it was love at first sight. They went on to an epic love affair that endured over 62 years and they were blessed with 3 children.
After graduating from Earl Haig Secondary School, Bob went on to Teachers College and graduated in 1961. His first job was as a Teacher, but his thirst for knowledge never waned and he completed his B.A. and Masters of Education from York University.
Most of all, we will remember his unconditional love – pure love like that is a rare and beautiful thing.
The world is dimmer without him and although our memories of him will live on, his presence will forever be missed by all his family and friends.
He will be deeply mourned by his wife, Penny, children, Rex (Daliah), Robin, Toni (John), granddaughter, Courtney (Karel), and great-grandsons, Forrest and Theodore.
A private ceremony will be held next week. Arrangements entrusted with Kane-Jerrett funeral home.
A Celebration of his Life will take place when we can all gather again and share our memories.
