<div itemprop="description">Our hearts are filled with sadness, love and beautiful memories as we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Vernon Hunter on August 27th after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in the quiet town of Lucknow, Ontario, Bob always had much bigger plans for himself. He was a creative visionary and a natural-born entrepreneur. With a few bumps along the way, he built a successful career in construction and real estate development residing in the USA, Saudi Arabia and England before returning to Canada in the early 80s (Oakville). He retired/relocated to Vancouver with his wife and youngest daughter in 2002. He was an avid tennis player, golfer, skier and sailor. He had a keen eye and a passion for architecture and interior design. <br /> <br />Part of the legacy that Bob leaves behind is the development and restoration of several significant residential and commercial buildings. Most notable in Canada are The Annex Building (132-134 Trafalgar Road, Oakville); Forsythe Street Townhouses (81-93 Forsythe Street, Oakville); and The Murray House (75 Navy Street, Oakville). He also managed projects in Florida and the Middle East. <br /> <br />He is fondly remembered by his beloved wife Karleen, three daughters: Lisa (Javier), Charlotte (Rathan) and Taylor (Dylan), three grandchildren: Vera, Ambar and Kiran, sister Joanne (Forbes), brother Murray (Patricia) and sister-in-law, Sandy. Predeceased by parents Vernon Hunter and Anna May Treleaven, and brother Gregory. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Bob&rsquo;s honour to Vancouver Hospice Society and InspireHealth Integrative Cancer Care. <br /> <br />InspireHealth Integrative Cancer Care: https://payment.csfm.com/donations/healing/index.php <br />Vancouver Hospice Society: https://www.canadahelps.org/dn/15213 <br /> <br />https://vimeo.com/143751580 (you are welcome to view this video clip from Vancouver Celebration of Life, Sept 27, 2015) <br /> <br /> <br />* BOB'S FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR THOUGHTFUL SHARING OF MEMORIES.
