<div itemprop="description"><br>Robert S. Inkster <br>Born 1946 - Passed away 2016 <br> Robert was known, affectionately, as ‘Bobby’, to the family, as ’Gypsy’, to his many friends and as ’Kubota Bob’, to his many work associates and clients. He was a man with a huge zest for life, an incredible sense of humour and an infectious presence that stayed with you, even after your time with him. <br>Bob was born in Winnipeg, in the suburb of Fort Garry and attended school there, finishing at Vincent Massey Collegiate. During his teenage years, Bob spent several periods of time in Vancouver, with his maternal Grandparents, where he developed a love for life on the west coast and, after finishing school, returned there. He worked at a variety of jobs and enjoyed an active social life. He, eventually, followed the opportunities north, relocating to Prince George, where he worked, self-employed, in the lumber industry, for 5 years. Bob met his wife Susan in Prince George and, together they moved back to Winnipeg, in 1976, in response to health needs in the family and they continued to reside here, until Bobs’ untimely passing. Bob went to work for Kubota Canada, as a Regional Sales Manager, for the territory stretching from Thunder Bay, Ont., to the Saskatchewan/Alberta border. Bob was a tremendous success at his work, enjoying his dealers and his peers in the company and he loved the challenge of the job through the thirty-five years of his employment there. Bob was not a man to be easily forgotten, having a great impact on all those who had the pleasure of knowing him, in the family, in his career, through his many friendships, or in the community of boaters, at the Boundary Creek Marina, at Winnipeg Beach, who spent time with him on his beautiful boat, Somerset, his pride and joy. <br>Bob leaves to mourn Susan, his wife of thirty-eight years, his sister, Mary Anne and her children, Jessica and Matthew, cousins Neil (Calgary), Jim (Kelowna) and David (Winnipeg) and many friends. Private interment taking place on Wednesday, August 31, 2016, at Chapel Lawn cemetery. A Celebration of Bobs’ life may be arranged at a later time. He will be missed. <br></div>
