Obituary of Robert Gordon Boyer

Robert G. Boyer (Bob), age 86, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on Thursday, November 8, 2018. Born at home in Waterloo Ontario, he was the youngest child of Arthur and Frederica Boyer. For 40 years he was the owner of a successful local lumber and construction business that bore his name and was well known by his customers for his honesty and trustworthiness.

In his early years Bob had a passion for riding horses that evolved as he got older to riding motorcycles. He simply enjoyed the freedom of the open road. Bob’s wit and humor made him a great storyteller and he was usually the focal point of any family gathering.

Married to Beverly (nee Fraser) for 59 years, they raised four children, David (Catherine), Cheryl (Bruce McInnis), Richard (Belinda) and Cathy. Greatly loved by his 9 grandchildren, Kelly, Robert, Christina, Mallory, Joshua, Kyle, Daniel, Shelby and Brooklynn. Uncle Bob to his many nieces and nephews.

Predeceased by his parents Arthur and Frederica, brothers Keith and John (Pat), Sister Jean Garner and niece Patricia Anne DeShane.

A private memorial service will be held.
