JENKINS, ROBERT G. (BOB) Bob Jenkins passed away peacefully with his family by his side on May 4, 2013 in Penticton at the age of 89 years, united once again with the love of his life, Jean. He will be lovingly remembered by his daughters, Patti (Bob) and Susan (Gary); brother Ron (Sandy); grandsons, Curtis (Lesley), Chris (Theresa), Brian; granddaughter, Carrie (Kelly) and great granddaughters, Chelsea and Lily (soon to be born). He was sadly predeceased by his wife Jean, his mother, father and two brothers. Dad was a proud Navy Veteran and was the founding President of the Penticton Naval Veterans Association. After his service, Dad traveled north to Port Radium, N.W.T. on Great Bear Lake where he met Mom. Dad's work life included working for Eldorado Mining & Refining in Port Radium, Edmonton, Calgary and Eldorado, Sask. He then moved the family to Penticton in 1963 where he worked for the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #40 and finished his work career with Interior Contracting Ltd. During their married life they raised two daughters, seven dogs and four horses. Dad (Papa) was all about family, loved the outdoors and all animals, touched the lives of many and will remain forever in our hearts. Somewhere under a bluer sky, In a higher realm than where eagles fly, In a land of beauty beyond all knowing, With trees and flowers and water flowing, And mountains of unearthly grace, Our loving Lord has made a place... And one day, through an open door, We find that glorious ever more. A Celebration of Life will be held at Everden Rust Funeral Chapel (1130 Carmi Ave., Penticton) on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the SPCA.
