ROBERT (BOB) STEWART MCKENZIE It is with sadness that we announce the death of Robert Stewart McKenzie on July 25, 2018, at age 79. Bob will be missed by his children, Rob (Cinzia Foglietta), Ian (Maninder Kaur) and Francine (Michael Szonyi); grandchildren, McKenzie, Bobby, Katie and Kevin; sister Barbara; his former wife Denise, with whom he remained good friends; and his partner Donna Armstrong and her family. Bob was born on September 19, 1938 in Carman, Manitoba. His parents were Bert and Kay McKenzie. Bob had a successful law practice in Carman for 37 years. Public service was an important part of his life. He served as mayor for seven and a half years. He helped create the Boyne River Diversion, which kept the town flood-free for decades, and the Boyne Tower and Lodge, a retirement and nursing home. He read widely, loved travel and the outdoors, and followed politics and the stock market closely. In 2010, he moved to Ottawa where he appreciated the fellowship he found at the Britannia United Church. A memorial service will be held at Britannia United Church in the fall.
