MILK, Robert “Bob”

MILK We are sad to announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Milk on Sunday, August 24, 2025 at St. Therese Villa.
Bob lived a long and full life starting in Ottawa, Ontario on October 6, 1933. Bob started working at an early age, first job being a caddy at a golf course. Bob was an air cadet at the age of 15 joining the Royal Canadian Air Force, at the age of 19. While stationed at Greenwood Air Force base he met the love of his life – Elsie. They married in 1956, then their adventures began! They went to Goose Bay Labrador, Lahr Germany, Winnipeg, Calgary, Brooks. They finally settled in Lethbridge in 1985.
Bob was a very hard worker, sometimes 3 jobs to support his family. He was an avid sports fan, playing almost every sport there was, probably tiddly winks!
Bob was a very kind man, loving and caring to all who knew him.
To his family he was a husband, dad, grampy and gramps. He knew how much he was loved, and we all knew how much we were loved.
Left behind with broken hearts but so many happy memories are: Steve (Sue), Leanne (Dennis), Sherri (Louis); Honourary daughters Judy and Fay; grandchildren Amanda (Brett), Tanis (Scott), Bradley (Edith), Rob (Niki), Brenda, Melissa (Jeff), Andrew, Russ (Celia), Stefanie (Shane); great grandchildren Alexandra (Donald), Jax (Spencer), Oz (Kalina), Emma, Kam (Chatalee), Larson, Walker, Isabella, Eric, Sophia, Aurora, Olivia, Brooklyn, Link. Wow! Bob you were responsible for a large family!
Bob is also survived by his sister Marg (Gord), Bill (Rose) and David.
Bob was predeceased by his wife of 56 years Elsie, his son Rob, and his grandson Steve. We bet the beer and wine was flowing for your reunion!
