(David) Mindell, Alix (Randy) Cooke, Krissy (Tom) Hylton, and David (Jane)
Saba and their families. Following the early death of his parents in 1936,
Bob was employed as a salesman for a major wholesale equipment & furniture
supplier, working the Vancouver waterfront supplying the tow boat and
shipbuilding industries. He rose to become the manager of their Seymour
Street location before starting his own wholesale agency business in 1950.
Ever the entrepreneur and self-starter, by the end of WW II, he was building
his first of 16 apartment buildings in Vancouver's west end and Kerrisdale.
Bob was instrumental in the forming of the Greater Vancouver Apartment
Owner's Association and became its founding president. Aside from his
close-knit family, Bob's passion was the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, and
cruising with family and friends aboard his beautiful yacht "Gibson Gal".
Over the years, Bob worked tirelessly in many executive positions at the
club, culminating in his election to Commodore in 1970 - 71. His long range
vision resulted in the beginning of the club's "Offshore Station" program,
and until his recent illness he remained keenly interested in all of the
club's future plans. The family would like to acknowledge the many doctors
and health care professionals at St. Paul's Hospital for the exceptional
comfort and attention he received while in their care. In lieu of flowers, a
donation in Bob's memory may be made to the St. Paul's Hospital Foundation,
or the charity of your choice. An Eight Bells service will be held at the
Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, 3811 Point Grey Road, Vancouver, at a future
date to be announced. Walkey & Company Funeral Directors 604-738-0006

(Memoriam)
In loving memory of WILLIAM F. HARDY Beloved husband of Leonora. William
entered his Eternal Home on Friday, July 16th, 2004. "Absent from the body,
present with the Lord". 2 Cor. 5:8 WE SHALL MEET AGAIN "For if we believe
that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will
God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by The Word of The Lord, that
we which are alive and remain unto the coming of The Lord shall not prevent
them which are asleep. For The Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God: and the
dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds to meet The Lord in the air: AND
SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD. Wherefore, COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE
WORDS". 1 Thess. 4:14-18. Precious in the sight of The Lord is the death of
His saints". Psalm 116:15.

in the Ladner Sports Festival. In her early 40s Julie began a long struggle
with multiple sclerosis (MS). She approached the disease with a positive and

give up the activities she loved she never stopped being a caring mother,
sister, wife and friend. In lieu of flowers the family asks that you
