RESNICK, Dr. Robert Lawrence 'Bob' - Dr. Robert Lawrence (“Bob”) Resnick, 80, passed away suddenly on Sunday, April 11, 2021, at North York General Hospital.
A dentist who was universally adored by his patients and colleagues, Bob is survived by his loving wife Daria of forty-nine years, his two children, Evan and Allison, and his four grandchildren, Lorelei, Dylan, Jonah, and Eileen.
Bob was also far more than a mere brother-in-law to Daria’s six siblings and their spouses: He was a dear and deeply loved older brother to Djayne, Irca, Stella, Mela, Lesha, Ronnie, Ron, and Delia, and uncle to Alexander, Jacob, Nicholas, and Adam.
On entering the family, daughter-in-law Barb and son-in-law Charles warmed immediately to Bob’s entertaining stories and spectacular sense of humour. Bob’s most treasured memories included his legendary “around the world” tour in 1971; weekends spent with his family at the cottage; fishing expeditions, bowling matches, and trips to the racetrack with Art Ross and his other close friends; incessantly shuttling his grandkids to Costco; watching James Bond marathons on television; and never missing a Maple Leafs or Blue Jays game (no matter how much their lackluster performance drove him to profanity-laced denunciations).
His family and friends will always remember and cherish Bob’s uncompromising honesty, generosity, and devotion
Private Family Service arrangemnets and livestream details are entrusted with Steeles Memorial Chapel.
