Robert David Gross, age 81, passed away peacefully in his home in Waterloo, Ontario in the late evening on Monday, November 29th, 2021.  Bob was the beloved husband of Frances Anne Gross (nee Bald) and predeceased by his wife of 36 years, Marilyn “Marnie” Gross (nee Daly).  He will be held lovingly in the hearts of his daughter Maureen (Kevin) Koprowski, and stepchildren David (Kristie) Panunto, Jennifer Panunto, Colleen (Scott) Whent, Kathleen (Ted) Psutka.  His legacy will live on in his many grandchildren Daly, Jack, William, Eleanor, Mya, James, Melissa, Zachary, and Marnie. Also survived by his sister Florence Doherty. Remembered in spirit by his late son David and sisters Irene, Vera and Shirley. 

 

Born and raised in Kitchener, Bob was a proud owner and president of PACA sales until his retirement in 2000.  He enjoyed cottage life with fond memories of fishing at Penn Lake in Muskoka.  Bob will always be remembered for his vibrancy, generosity, and spirit.  “To make a long story short” his stories were one to be remembered.   He was one of a kind and will never be forgotten.  His legacy is to showcase the value of seizing opportunities and living life to the fullest. 

 

The family offers its warmest gratitude for all the support by the nurses and care staff of CCAC and ParaMed.
