RICHARD WOJCIK'S WINNIPEG FUNERAL HOME - ROBERT GAIR FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS


ROBERT “BOB” JOHN GAIR

It is with great sadness the family of Bob Gair announces his passing on Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at the age of 73 years. Bob was born on April 4, 1941 and made Winnipeg his home for over six decades.
Left to forever remember Bob are his loving wife of 48 years, Dorothy; children: Shannon, Shelley (Tony), and Stacey Helen; three grandsons: James, Robbie and Declan; brothers: Bill, Dave, Cameron, Alec and Gregg; sisters: Cathie and Pam; a large extended family and a great many friends.  He was predeceased by brothers Johnny and Brad; sister Patricia; and parents Patrick and Pearl Gair.
Bob owned and operated Artistic Creations and Flag City with his brother Johnny for over 40 years, during which time he forged many lasting relationships within the business community. His personality could fill a room of its own, and his reputation as a charismatic dealmaker will be remembered by many.
As a member of the Optimist Club of Assiniboia for many years, Bob served as its President from 1984-85.  During those years he made great friendships enduring to this day and received numerous awards for his service to the community.
Bob enjoyed curling, golf, listening to Leonard Cohen, plotting new adventures, landscaping and travelling. He thought cruises were the perfect holiday and embarked on 17 such voyages with his wife and friends.
“Bobby”, as he was called by his grandsons, was a wonderful grandfather, always creating new games to play, jobs for them to do and was easy with the treats.  He was much loved and will be greatly missed by the little guys.
Funeral Mass will be Celebrated on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. in St. John XXIII Roman Catholic Church, 3390 Portage Avenue @ Rouge Road with Rev. Fr. Gerald Langevin presiding.
