In Celebration of

Robert (Bob) Harwood Shepherd

February 10, 1929 -  March 16, 2021

Bob passed away peacefully at Tapestry at Village Gate West with loved ones by his side following a long and courageous battle with cancer. Predeceased by his wife Bette, daughter Robin and sister-in-law Joan. Bob will be greatly missed by his son-in-law Angelo Diana (Jane), his nephews and nieces – Bruce, Wendy, Warren, Ruth, David, Ann, Brenda, John, Daniel, Alexa Claire and his brothers’ and sisters’ in law – Eleanor, Paul, Robert and Sharon. He will also be missed by his many friends and the staff at Tapestry, his Lakeview golfing buddies and his friends at Sansovino in Florida. Bob was born in Toronto, where he lived, married, worked and raised a family. He was a: teacher, secondary school principal, CFL football referee, birder, nature guide, superb baker of bread and an avid golfer. Bob had an impact on everyone he met and his warm, kind, generous and loving spirit will be missed by all. A special thank you to Dr. Daniel Yokum, the Dorothy Ley Hospice Palliative Care team, the Mississauga Halton LHIN, the staff of Central Nursing Agency and the warm, kind and generous staff of Tapestry. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at a later date when we can all gather to grieve his passing and celebrate his life. Should you wish to honour Bob, a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Kidney Foundation of Canada would be appreciated. Online condolences available at www.turnerporter.ca

Bob was such a wonderful gentleman! His ever-present smile was always a welcome sight to everyone here at Tapestry. Rest in Peace Bob, you are sorely missed and fondly remembered.

Bob was so kind to me when I first started at Tapestry. He always said hello and made me feel welcome. He use to make the most delicious bread and would always bring me down a sample to try. He always had a smile on his face and it was always a highlight of my day to see him walk by the host stand and say hello.
I know you are in a better place, looking down on everyone in your life. You will be deeply missed by staff and residents.
Love you BOB!!!
