Robert “Bob” Hess of South Dundas passed away peacefully at Winchester District Memorial Hospital on January 2, 2025, at the age of 76, surrounded by family. Bob was the loving husband of Cathie (née McGuire) and a cherished father to Bren (Lee) Gray of Okotoks, Alberta, Michael (Natalie) Hess of Cornwall, and Jonathan (Jamie) Robinson of Cornwall.
He was a fun-loving grandfather to Dylan, Abbey, and Thomas, Jesse and Kevin, and Dylan and Ryley. Bob is also survived by his siblings Jim (Kelly) Hess, Douglas Hess, and Ruth (Glen) Liscumb. He was predeceased by his parents, Carl Hess and Grace Flegg, his son-in-law Michael Gray, his brother Timothy Hess, and his father-in-law Melville McGuire.
Bob will always be remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, friend, and outdoorsman. Whether hunting in the woods or fishing on the water, he found joy in nature and the great outdoors.
