Robin Van
February 7, 1951 – August 24th, 2011
It is with great sadness that Robin is no longer with us, however his spirit lives on in the lives he touched with his love and kindness. He is deeply missed by his best friend, soul mate and loving wife and partner of 12 years, Daphne. He so very much loved his children Christopher, Justin, Julie and his stepdaughter, Sissa and will be forever missed by them.
Robin is loved by his family and will be missed by his Dad, William, his brothers Peter, and Bryan and their families; he is now with his loving Mum, Gwen and his sister Heather.
Robin was the loving son-in-law of Daphne Sr. and the late Shibly Abela, with whom he shared many memorable moments. Robin will be missed by Daphne’s brothers and sisters and their children.
Robin will be remembered for his passion, compassion, kindness, sense of humour, his scientific mind and integrity, the high standards he set for himself and those he loved, his artistic talents, which included painting and photography, his love of nature, love for children and their innocence, and most importantly the deep love he had for his wife and his children. Lastly, Robin is being deeply missed by his faithful companion our dog Butler (Boogie).
His friends and colleagues will sadly miss Robin.
Friends and family are invited to visit at the Ward Funeral Home, 109 Reynolds St., Oakville, Ontario (905) 844-3221 on Friday, September 2nd from 6-9pm. Funeral and celebration of Robin’s life will take place on Saturday September 3rd at 11 a.m. at Chartwell Baptist Church, 228 Chartwell Road, Oakville, Ontario. On Tuesday, September 6th.
