DAVEY

Robert (Bob) Harold

April 2, 1940 - Dec. 28, 2015

It is with great sadness that the family of Bob Davey announces his passing on Monday, December 28, 2015. Bob passed away at the Red Deer Hospice surrounded by his family following a courageous battle with cancer. Bob is lovingly remembered by his wife Donna, his daughter Cheryl Johnston (Jamie) and his son Greg Davey (Stacey) as well as his two grandsons Logan and Brady. He was predeceased by his father Earl in 1959 and his mother Zena in 2012. Bob was born in Moose Jaw, Sask. where he met and married his wife Donna of 55 years (1960). Bob's career was dedicated to the rail industry - he worked for CP Rail in Moose Jaw, a rail company in North Vancouver, and returned to Moose Jaw to begin what would be a very long and devoted career with CGTX. In 1969, Bob and his young family relocated to Red Deer to join the newly opened CGTX Red Deer location. He retired in 2003 after dedicating 36 years of his career to the same company. Bob was happiest dancing, camping, driving, farming, wintering in Texas, and watching his grandsons take part in their many activities. Bob's family will remember him for his quiet warmth, the mints in his pockets, regular phone calls to "check on the weather" and his early morning drive-bys. As per Bob's wishes, cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Red Deer Hospice, STARS Air Ambulance or the Red Deer SPCA.
