Robert Bruce Beach
2024
After a short illness, in the care of Huntsville Hospice and with a friend by his side, Bob passed away in the early hours of December 14, 2024.
Predeceased by his parents, Florence and Herman (Bruce) Beach, his brother Gary, and his nephews, Bruce and Raymond. He and his first wife, Ann (deceased), had four children: Jeff, Melanie, Marcia, and Morene. His wife Greta also predeceased him. He was Uncle Bob to Shawn, Shari, William, and Kayla.
Bob will be missed by the people he surrounded himself with in the Barkway area, especially his dear friend Donna. Bob was active in the Ryde Centennial Free Methodist Church and the Ryde Community Cooperative and was well known for his love of music. His favorite instrument was his harmonica. Bob always had music with him, whether he sang, played, or just listened.
Many thanks to Marc, Dave, Dr. Whynot, and the staff at South Muskoka Hospital, as well as the Huntsville Hospice staff.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Huntsville Hospice or the Ryde Centennial Free Methodist Church would be appreciated. A memorial service will be held in January.
Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Mitchell Funeral Home.
