Peacefully passed away, with his family by his side at Hamilton Continuing Care on Thursday, October 4, 2018 in his 90th year. Predeceased by his beloved wife Patricia Margaret (1994). Proud father of Lawrence and Stephen. He will also be dearly missed by his granddaughters Samantha and Rebecca. Robert was the proud owner/operator of Payne Music, serving Hamilton's music community for over 60 years. A special thank you to the staff and residents of Hamilton Continuing Care. Following his wishes, there will be no formal service and cremation has taken place. If desired, donations to the Hamilton Musicians Clinic would be appreciated.
