LAAKSO, Robert “Bob”
Passed away on Thursday, October 24th, 2024, at Health Sciences North at age 69.
Saddened by his passing is his son Brian (Natalie) and daughter Christine who will so miss their 3 am calls. Adored papa of Deliah, Talyssa, Karina, and Anka. Missed by Anne. He loved to see his grand puppies and kitties with a special place in his heart for Ru and “Tabby”. Predeceased first by younger brother Randy, next older brother Ric and lastly by his parents Bill and Ida.
Bob lived hard and fought hard. He loved spending time with family, fishing and twice a year trips to automotive flea market near Barrie. Bob could see value in anything other people called junk. He worked for years as an automotive mechanic and machinist.
Bob looked tough but had a heart of gold and a soft interior.
A special thank you goes out to all who provided care at HSN and the emergency department and to Louise, Darrin and the other caregivers from Bayshore.
Cremation arrangements through Sudbury Park Lawn Cremation Service. He will be buried alongside his family in the Park Lawn Cemetery at a later date.
A gathering to remember Bob will take place at Eddies Restaurant (1769 Regent St, Sudbury) on Thursday, November 7th, 2024, drop in between 1 to 4pm. Casual dress. (More parking at back door). As Bob was not a flower kind of guy in lieu of flowers, a donation to the Maison McCulloch Hospice or charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Dad/Papa you will always be in our hearts.
