Robert Frederick Groves

Robert (Bob) was born in Halifax, NS on April 7, 1936, to Frederick Arthur Groves originally from Southwick, Sussex, England and Edith Margaret Groves (nee Bowes) of Halifax, NS. He passed away at the Queensway Carleton Hospital on June 24, 2021.

Bob was an avid fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Maple Leafs.  He was always very animated as he watched his favourite teams play!  He also had a great interest in weather/meteorology and kept very detailed weather journals from the 1950s up to two days before his death.

Bob is survived by his four daughters Sherry Hickey (Don), Carol Gallant, Sharon Douthwright (Terry) and Tracy Evans (Mark); grandchildren Megan (Andrew), Jessica (Steven), Matthew (Asia), Kelsey, Mikyla (Greg), Katelyn (Forrest), Grace and Ian and great-grandchildren Audrey, Phoenix, Lyall, Phoebe and Ken.

Special thanks to all of the staff at Robertson House Retirement Community where Bob had resided for 3 years, as well as the ICU staff at QCH who cared for him for his last days.

In Memoriam or donations to the Diabetes Association, Alzheimer’s Society or charity of choice would be appreciated.
