We are sad to announce the passing of Robert James Stoddart of Strathroy, Ontario at the age of 82. Bob was born on 19 July 1941 in Kirkland Lake Ontario.
Bob played hockey as kid and enjoyed following all the sports that his children and grandchildren played through out the years. Hockey, Baseball, Martial arts to name a few. He was an avid car racing fan, having attended well over 100 Nascar, Indy and Sprint car races.

Bob then found his entrepreneurial spirit and he and his first wife Penny became business owners of the John Deere Dealership in Beausejour, Manitoba (78-86) Bob returned with the family to London Ontario, working in several positions in renovations and sale. Life took a few turns, and he ended his working career as a Correctional Officer at Elgin Middlesex where he met his second wife Evelyn.
