MITCHELL, Robert Jamie
1922-2009
(W.W.II Veteran, 25 year employee General Motors)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our much loved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather on Tuesday, January 13, 2009.
Dearly loved husband of 38 years to Rosina. Proud father to Robert and Debra of Troy, Michigan; Elisabeth and Ken of Naples, Florida; Rona and David of Oshawa; Yvonne and Mike of Oshawa; Moira (David deceased) of Toronto; Sharon and Lester of Oshawa. Cherished grandfather of 21 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Brother to Mary Mitchell. Pre-deceased by his first wife Elspeth. Bob (as he was known to his family and friends) was born in Paisley, Scotland June 3, 1922.
He retired from General Motors as a tool and die maker after 25 years of dedicated service. He was an avid soccer fan having played semi-pro in his native Scotland. He was a life-long learner and his knowledge of History and Geography astounded us all. His love for his family was unconditional and nothing made him happier than large family gatherings. He had great affection for animals and Mookie will miss his warm lap. He was loved and respected and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Special Thanks to Dr. Verdonk of the Oshawa Clinic for going way beyond his call of duty!
