Robert Patrick SCARFE

SCARFE, Robert Patrick Robert Patrick Scarfe passed away peacefully October 1, 2009, at University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton at the age of 60. Bob is survived by his loving fiance, Toni Smith and Toni's daughters: Erin and Melanie Smith; sons: Jason (Carolyn) and Justin; four grandchildren; brothers: Danny, Jim, Bill, and David; sister, Lisa Kuzma; and numerous nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by sister, Lauree Donaldson; mother, Shirley; and father, Jack. Bob was born in Regina, SK, on October 20, 1948. In 1959, he moved with his family to Saskatoon, SK, where he spent the remainder of his childhood and many of his adult years, but Edmonton was 'home' to him and indeed that's where his heart was. Bob enjoyed dabbling with electronics and computers. Even as a young child, he was interested in finding ways to 'automate' the family home. In later years, he was very generous with his time and talents when it came to setting up computers for family members and was always willing to provide instruction and repairs when needed. His interest in technology served him both professionally and personally. Bob was probably best known for his sense of humour. He could always be counted on to provide a one-liner or a pun for just about any occasion. The family wish to express their sincere gratitude to the nursing staff of 5D2 at the U of A Hospital for their kindness and their compassionate care for Bob in his final days. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, October 10, 2009, at 1:00 p.m. at the Serenity Funeral Service, 5311-91 Street, Edmonton, AB.
