With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of our loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. Bob was born and raised in New Westminster and was predeceased by his parents Irene and Bill Farbridge and his sister Maureen Melville.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 63 years, Gerry (nee Nettleton), his daughter, Barbara Stoliker (Ron), and three sons, Brent (Teresa), Murray (Lisa) and Richard (Melody) Farbridge. Ten grandchildren, Kyle (Kiera), Kim & Graham Stoliker, Bryan (Tiffany), Michael, Anna, Alex, Liam, Jonathan, Nathan Farbridge and great grandson Luke Stoliker.
Bob enjoyed a long career at Chevron Canada where he rose from Office Boy to Sales Manager. He enjoyed canoeing, golfing, family gatherings and weekends at Birch Bay. His weekly trips to the pub for a beer with Russ Laing were treasured times. Bob and Gerry raised their family in Coquitlam. They provided an incredibly stable and loving home environment for their family and friends. Up until Alzheimer’s took over his life two years ago, he was an energetic, hardworking, caring man. He will be greatly missed.
Thanks to the staff at Westminster House for their loving care during his final months.
There will be a celebration of Bob’s life at a later date.
