Mr. Robert Gordon Turner

Born on November 22, 1952, Bob was raised, educated and lived his life in Winnipeg. He attended the University of Manitoba and further graduated with a degree in Audiology in 1977 from the University of Wyoming in the US. Bob was the first audiologist to start a private practice of audiology in the Province of Manitoba. He was a highly respected businessman, ingenious problem solver, and valued member of his community.

Bob will be lovingly remembered by his wife Jan Naismith of 24 years; mother-in-law Wilma, brother-in-law Jeff (Aileen), brother-in-law Kevin (Marilyn), sister-in-law Mavis; stepchildren Ryan (Dana), Brad and Kim (Maynard); step-grandchildren – Brayden, Jordan, Hailee, Avery, Eden, Oakley, and Lila; his brother Larry Turner (Georgina); nephews and nieces, Jay, Amanda, Jamie and Brian. He was predeceased by his loving father John (1984) and mother Jean (2018); father in law, George (2014) and brother-in-law Randy (2014).

Bob will always be remembered for the joy he brought to life; his joy of laughter, the joy of friends and family, the joy of work, his joy of cooking for others, the joy in all his ‘special’ projects, and the joy of love. Bob was always excited about having his next project on the drawing board. Whether ‘at the lake’, at home or at work, it was always inspiring to see what he would make happen with purpose and full-heartedness. He will be missed and remembered forever by all of his family and his many friends. May He Rest in Peace.

Due to Covid restrictions, a Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations in Bob’s name may be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. (heartandstroke.ca)
