Obituary for Robert Joseph Omer Desrochers (Desrocher)
ROBERT JOSEPH OMER DESROCHERS
It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Bob Desrochers on Wednesday, August 26, 2020 at Bethesda Regional Health Centre, Steinbach, at the age of 72 years.
He was predeceased by his dad Bertrand, and his mom Bertha (nee Fontaine); also by his mother- in- law Anne.
Bob leaves to cherish his memory, his beloved wife, Violet of 37 years; his children Derrick, Colin and Steven (Kathy), and much beloved granddaughters, Calum, Izabella, and Jaymie. Also mourning his loss are his brother, Raymond (Pauline); his sister Ivy – Claire (Tony), and sister-in-law Yvonne, as well as numerous nephews, nieces and countless friends.
Bob was born in St. Boniface on November 19, 1947 and grew up in the St. Boniface area. Throughout Bob’s lifetime he made numerous friends while working for the Royal Bank and Investors Group. Bob was involved in many different sports - too many to mention, but his greatest passions were golf and the Montreal Canadiens!
In accordance with Bob’s wishes, cremation has taken place and due to Covid-19, a private family service will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bob’s memory to Manitoba Underdogs Rescue or a charity of your choice.
