We the family of Robert (Bob) Benoit, are heartbroken to announce his passing on December 20, 2021. Robert was born on September 20, 1945 in Winnipeg, MB. to Paul and Imelda Benoit. His younger years were spent in Winnipeg until he and Cynthia moved to Saskatchewan in 1972 to be close to her family. There they worked hard, made their permanent home and raised their two sons. Bob loved his family, loved his cars, loved watching sports-sometimes to the dismay of his wife, loved his music and all the concerts attended throughout the years and totally loved the last 8 years spent living at the lake, enjoying all the wild life and beauty there. His rescue kitty cat Lilli - (Lillibug) as he called her, was a very special part of his last 8 years. Bob fought COVID and won but the valiant fight with cancer just could not be won. Bob was predeceased by his parents, Paul and Imelda, sister Florence, his infant daughter Cara and his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Ed and Rosie Paley. He leaves behind to celebrate his life and to cherish his memory, his loving wife of 51 years, Cynthia, son Sheldon (Cheryl and her son Benjamin), son Brendan (Sarah), sisters Claire, Pauline (Henry), Linda and brother Eugene (Rhonda) and several nieces and nephews. Many who knew Bob or worked with him can attest to his sense of humour and his strong work ethic. In his younger years he worked hard, he played hard. He will be sorely missed! John 5:28,29 – “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice, and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” Rest In Peace, my Love, until we meet again!
