Obituary of Robert Lilie

Robert ”Bob” Lillie It s with heavy that we announce the passing of Bob on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at RUH in Saskatoon, surrounded by his family. He will be dearly missed and forever loved by his wife Pat (nee Baker); daughters Meghan (Chris, son Luke) and Erin ( Aaron, children Noah and Lillie); sisters Sue Symonds and Mary Lillie; numerous nieces and nephews; and dear friends The Sargeants. He was predeceased by his parents Robert and Gertrude and in-laws Dr. Ward and Dorathey Baker. Bob was born in New Liskeard, ON on July 24, 1948 and raised in Campbellford, ON where he met and married Pat on Aug. 15, 1970. They moved around eastern Ontario before settling in Saskatoon with their girls in 1989. Dad retired in June 2012 as Director of Investor Relations at Cameco, but valued lifelong learning. In addition to his CMA, he obtained degrees from Ryerson, York University, University of Toronto, and the University of Saskatchewan (MBA). Bob loved being “by water”… from his childhood home on Crowe Bay to cabin time at Emma Lake to his backyard pool. Gardening, travel, music, good food and fine wine were great pleasures but his family was his greatest pleasure. Dad was a kind, honest, hardworking “gentleman” who showed incredible strength to the end. Special thanks to the ICU team for their care of dad (and our family). Donations to the Lung Association of SK (1231 – 8th St. E, Saskatoon, S7H 0S5) or a charity of your choice.
