Robert Harold NUTTALL

Robert, better known to his family and friends as Bob, passed away peacefully at Ty Watson House on Monday, February 24, 2020.  Bob is survived by his daughter, Sharon (John) Cameron; niece, Georgina (Daniel) Cyr; grandchildren, Chris (Christine) Paradis, Robert (Brittany) Nuttall, Kory Nuttall, Amy (Gavin) Nuttall; as well as four great grandchildren; as well as numerous extended family members and friends.  He was predeceased by his sister, Betty Nuttall; parents, Jessie and George Nuttall; son, Grege; and wife, Shirley.

Bob was born in Simcoe, Ontario and met this wife, Shirley in  Branford where they were married.  Bob and Shirley moved to Port Alberni in 1963 with their children, Sharon and Grege.  A WWII Veteran, Bob served in the Navy and was stationed out of Halifax on a Corvette ship.

Self employed, he owned and operated Climate Control until he sold the business to his partners in the 90's.  Bob was a Lifetime Member of Gyro, a member of the Masons, and RCL Branch #169.  He loved to spend time with his family and friends at his cabin on Cheeyah Island.  Bob loved to cook up a storm and always made a BIG mess in the kitchen.  Another of his passions was gardening -  even at the age of 93!   Not one to sit still,he most recently made the gardens beautiful at Heritage Place.

The family would like to thank the staff at Heritage for taking such good care of Bob during his three + years with them.  A very special thanks goes out to the nurses, care aids, and staff at Ty Watson House for making Bob's last days comfortable and peaceful.  In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please make a donation to Ty Watson House in Bob's memory.

A Celebration of Life will be held in his honour from 1:00 to 4:00 on Sunday, March 8th at the Port Alberni Lawn Bowling Club, A- 4225 Wallace Street in Port Alberni.
