Bob is predeceased by his wife of 54 years, Shirley, his parents, his sister Dorothy and two brother-in-law.

Bob was born January 14, 1946, to Jacob and Agatha Enns in Winkler, Manitoba and was the second youngest of 6 siblings. He was Baptized in the spring of 1969 and married Shirley Fehr on June 15, 1969 and together raised their one daughter, Valerie.

Bob was known as the mechanic and the guy with the fast car. He raced his car at the local track and even won a few trophies. With only a grade 5 education, he had an above average ability to diagnose the problem and fix it to make it work more efficiently. Bob worked in a few different car dealerships as a mechanic even was a parts manager for a while. In 1967, the family moved to Carman where he tried his hand at working for a farmer. Bob enjoyed the farm life and stayed at a farm for 21 years.

1997 saw Bob and Shirley move to Alberta where he bought a business with his brother Rick. He retired in 2012 because his Parkinson’s was being more of a problem.

That started the winters in Yuma, Arizona. Bob became quite the shuffleboard fanatic and became very proficient at it. He also enjoyed mountain riding, so he bought a Jeep to go at least once a week. That was something Bob and Shirley enjoyed for 11 years.
