McKITTERICK, Robert Douglas (Bob a.k.a. R.D.) - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our husband, father and grandfather on Saturday, October 2, 2021, at the age of 92.
Bob was the faithful husband of Patricia (Pat) and a dearly cherished dad to Gail, (Frank), Jim (Sandra), Doug, and Sandra.
He was the well-loved grandpa to Keegan (Sarah), Sam (Mariam) and Gwen (Will).
He was predeceased by his parents, Donald McKitterick and Helen (nee Dennison).
Bob was a faithful member of Hope Bible Church (Calvary Baptist Church) where he was involved in Christian Service Brigade and Vacation Bible School for many years.
More recently, he was active in the church's seniors' ministry. He was always ready with a funny story or a question about a crossword clue. He was an amazingly artistic man who loved to create whimsical sculptures, sketches and cartoons.
His children remember him as a wonderful storyteller and book lover. They also share great memories of his love of nature and the outdoors.
In August, Bob and his wife, Pat, celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary with their immediate family. It was a beautiful summer day, filled with good food, laughter and lots of corny "Dad" jokes.
We will miss his wry sense of humour and will be guided by his enduring faith.
In accordance with Bob's wishes, cremation has taken place.
A celebration of Bob's life will take place at a later date.
