Peacefully with family at his side on March 10, 2010 in his 90th year. Loving husband of June (Fremlin). Much loved father of Robin and Tom Boyer, Greg and Kathy Booth of California, Janet Mancuso and Les and Cindy Booth of Alberta. Caring grandpa of Mark Pettalia (Carey Thompson), Michaele-Anne (Dean) Dinsmore, Chad (Christine) Boyer, Tambi-Jo Boyer, Carrie (Len) Mainville of Alberta and Robbie Anderson, Robert (Sarah) Booth of British Columbia, Jarred (Robyn) Booth of Alberta, Melissa Mancuso (Shawn Gardy) of Orillia, Jae, Lakelind and Taylor Booth of Alberta. Proud great grandpa of 11. After 38 years he has been lovingly reunited with his first wife Jay (Janet Climie), the mother of his children. Bob was the last of the “Booth Boys”, predeceased by his brothers; Stan (late Elva, Winnie), Bert (late Doris), Alf (Inez), Norm (late Helen Zufelt), Les (Helen Swann). Survived by his only sister Edith and her husband Ken Coulter. Predeceased by his sister-in-law Katherine (Kay) Climie. He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews including his fudge making requests. Bob was a proud and distinguished veteran of WWII having enlisted together with his brother Alf. An Immigration Officer who was known for his compassion and caring throughout the Algoma District, Bob was promoted to District Manager, Citizenship and Immigration, Sault Ste. Marie, later transferring to the Toronto office from which he retired. Bob was an avid fisherman and golfer who enjoyed the outdoors. We wish to thank all of “Bob’s girls” at the Davey Home for not only doing their jobs well but also for caring about him so much. Your special attention was greatly appreciated. At Bob’s request there will be no visitation or service. Memorial donations will be gratefully accepted for A.R.C.H. or the Cancer Society.
