Robert "Bob" Becker

Of New Dundee

Passed away suddenly, as the result of an accident, on Thursday, June 30, 2011, at the age of 63.

Beloved husband and soul mate of Brenda (nee Fischer) for 41 years, loving father of Timothy and his wife Meagan of Baden and Jennifer of New Dundee, cherished son of Edna Becker (nee Hagey), dear brother of Ronald of Oxdrift, Leonard (Suzanne) of Dryden, and brother-in-law of Wendy Rose Jackson of Kanata. He will be dearly missed by his brothers and sisters-in-law; Murray (Nancy) Fischer and Eleanore (Terry) Knarr, all of Kitchener, Carol (the late Gottlieb) Pedde of Oroville, WA, Bruce (Betty) Fischer of Kitchener, Gail (Michael Holthysen) Fischer of Vancouver, BC, Donna (Carder) Gropp of Kingston, and Deborah Fischer of White Rock, BC. Bob will be fondly remembered by his many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and all who knew him.

Predeceased by his father, Clarence Becker (1994), and his brother, Cameron Becker (2001).

Bob retired October 2009 from 44 years in the Bricklaying trade (majority of time with G&A Masonry). Since then it has given him great joy to devote more of his love and time to his family, hunting trips, gardening, and puttering around the farm, along with his winter vacations in Florida.

Interment to follow at Roseville Cemetery.
