STAGG, ROBERT (B0B) Thursday, 14 May 2015
Vernon Morning Star Vernon
 February 16, 1948 - May 14, 2015
Bob was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the Navy where he served for 3 years. After discharge he settled in Victoria and went to work for Canadian Telephones and Supplies. While on the job, he met Sharon, the love of his life. In 1993, Bob transferred to Kelowna and a job with TELUS. He and Sharon bought their first of many homes together in 1994, and brought home their first “child”, Katie, a year later. In 2003, after 33 years of service, Bob retired from the telecommunications industry. Retirement was spent traveling to Hawaii in the falls, mowing lawns and laying by the pool in the summers, as well as spreading cheer (and groans) via email jokes throughout the year. He survived a major health scare in 2007, which forced some serious lifestyle changes on him, but he took them all in stride and surpassed all expectations. Sadly, a different disease would take his life in less than four weeks after diagnosis. May 14, 2015, after a very brief struggle with Cancer, Bob passed away peacefully. He is survived by his “darling” Sharon, sisters Lois (Bill) Seggie, Phyllis (Peter) Fletcher, “kids” Maggie, Jake, Abby and countless extended family and friends. There will be no service, by request. In lieu of flowers, donations to the North Okanagan Hospice Society would be appreciated, and remembrances may be sent to the family at mauimama@shaw.ca
