Robert Jamieson ( Cottage 74) Jamieson, Robert (Bob) Winston - Peacefully with family at London Health Science Centre - University Hospital on Saturday, July 23, 2016, Bob Jamieson in his 76th year. Deeply missed by his loving wife of 46 years Sandy, cherished father of Martha (Dave) Lang and Lisa. Proud 'Pops' of Peter and Natalie. Loving brother of Maurice (Eleanor) and Mary (John) Thornton. Predeceased by his brother Keith. He will also be missed by many nieces and nephews. We will all miss his kindness, his compassion and his outrageous sense of humour.
After graduating from the Phys. Ed. program at Western in 1965 Bob began a long career of coaching, teaching and mentoring secondary school students. He had a profound impact on many young people with his positive attitude, tremendous work ethic and sense of fair play. Upon retirement Bob and Sandy travelled with different interest groups and as a couple always making new friends on their journeys. Bob loved summers at Bruce Beach. His stories and sharp wit kept people laughing at the tennis court, golf course and on the ball diamond. He was a proud piper with the Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band and was thrilled to accompany them to the Netherlands to celebrate the 70th anniversary celebration festivities.
Bob was lovingly cared for by the MSICU staff and the palliative care team lead so compassionately by Dr. Koivu. With their steadfast care he maintained his dignity and even a quiet mischievousness.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Life will be held Wednesday, July 27, 2016 at 11:00 am at Metropolitan United Church, 468 Wellington Street, London. Visitation will be held from 10:00 - 11:00 am.
