Obituary for Bob "Robert David" Sulkers
BOB (DAVID ROBERT) SULKERS
November 13, 1947 – May 4, 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Bob Sulkers on Monday, May 4, 2015 at St. Boniface Hospital, after a lengthy battle with multiple myeloma.
He is survived by his wife and soul mate of 30 years, Nancy, who provided unwavering support, care, and love throughout his illness. He will be sorely missed by his daughter Jen, and her children Ella, Penny, and Keith. The list of people who loved Bob is very long. His siblings Judy, Jan (Tom), Randy, Kim (Larry); siblings-in-law Gord (Susan), Joanne, Barb (Doug), Devon (Gaby), Ainslie (Brent), as well as nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends from across the country, who will all think of him with great love.
Bob loved hockey, pool, a game of cards and golf. Many hours were spent on Winnipeg’s marvellous patios enjoying the summer sun, red wine, and great food. Vacations in the sun were his favourite, he and Nancy basked in the sun from Florida to Palm Springs. Last but not least, he and Gabby (the cat he never wanted) enjoyed a special bond, “conversations” and cuddles.
Bob had a unique ability to make those around him feel good about themselves. He loved to tell stories, hold court, and get a laugh; he brightened every room. With a gentle spirit and a happy heart, Bob was a gift to us all.
Bob’s family would like to express their thanks to the physicians and nurses at CancerCare MacCharles clinics and treatment rooms for their wonderful care, and to the nurses at St. Boniface Palliative Care for making his final hours serene and pain free.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will be held on Monday, May 25, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. in Windsor Park United Church, 1062 Autumnwood Drive officiated by Rev. Doctor Sharon Wilson, with a small reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Lavallee School Hockey Academy (cheque payable to Lavallee School or to the Louis Riel School Division Trust if a tax receipt is desired) or to Myeloma Canada in his name.
