ROBERT “BOB” JOSEPH MARSHALL

ROBERT “BOB” JOSEPH MARSHALL On November 30,2022 Robert “Bob” Joseph Marshall passed away. He was predeceased by his parents Murdock and May Marshall and his son Richard Marshall. He leaves behind his wife of 49 years Deb Marshall, brothers and sisters by marriage, many cousins and close friends. It is so difficult to sum up a persons life. To him life was the adventure. He had a remarkably dry sense of humour. He was a honourable man whose hand shake was more solid then something written in stone. He led a life of service in the radiological medical profession from setting up and managing radiology departments to working as an X-Ray technician. He flew in bush planes to the Yukon to supply X-Ray services and worked on a high trauma team in BC.
Bob was always a Saskatchewan farm boy at heart. Many of the best years growing up where spent at Grampa and Gramas farm. The love of his life was his horse Lady..Deb was a close second. In later years, while health permitted, he was able to enjoy his life on a beautiful acreage that gave host to his horses. They say you can measure a man’s life as successful if he has had the love of a good woman, the gift of a good horse and the loyalty of a good dog. Well..this man earned all three.
We have choices here..
You can close your eyes and pray he’ll come back, you can shed tears, you can feel empty in your heart and mind…you can feel sadness and loss because he is gone…or…you can remember the love shared, the happiness of yesterday and see everything he has left behind. You can cherish his memory and be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can choose to make each thought of him a joy instead of sorrow.
At Bobs request there will be a celebration of his life this summer. In lieu of flowers a donation to the SPCA or Local Salvation Army would be greatly appreciated. I would like to thank the Doctors, Nurses and Technicians at the hospital who took such good care of Bob. A special thank you to Saamis Memorial Funeral Chapel for their care and professionalism.
