Robert "Bob" Paquin

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Paquin, age 74 of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Bob passed away peacefully and surrounded by family.

He will be lovingly remembered by his partner Grethe Poulsen, son Tyler (Charlene), grandchildren Liam and Brynn, brother Len (Connie) and many other friends and family. Bob was predeceased by his wife Carole (Hekle) and daughter Kelley.

Bob was a proud member of the Winnipeg Police Service for 32 years where he held various roles including Detective and Staff Sergeant. He also held various executive roles within the Winnipeg and Manitoba Police Associations and served on numerous volunteer boards after his retirement. His proudest community involvements were his many years of fundraising for the law enforcement torch run in support of the Special Olympics.

A fierce football player during his years at Kelvin High School, he maintained his love of sports and was a very avid fisherman. He enjoyed many fishing trips across Canada with his friends, son and grandson. Bob devoted a tremendous amount of effort raising his two children, in particular his daughter Kelley who required increasing support throughout her life. He continued this generosity with his two grandchildren who will certainly miss his visits especially during the holiday season.

Many thanks to the wonderful staff at the ICCS ward of the St. Boniface Hospital and the dialysis unit of HSC for the thoughtful care provided.
