Robert ‘Bob’ Stephen Farrell

October 14, 2022

Passed away at home on Friday, October 14, 2022, in his 86th year. Beloved husband of the late Lois Farrell; loving father of the late Stephen Farrell. Predeceased by his sister Margaret Stericker (Rod) and brother Bud Farrell (Marilyn). Bob was born in Scarborough, Ontario to Albert and Henrietta Farrell. A wonderful uncle, Bob will be remembered by his nephew Raymond Stericker (Darlene), and nieces Suzanne Barnsdale (David), Janice Cardy (Daniel) and Kathy Murphy (Kevin).

Bob spent his accounting career serving many clients, continuing to complete personal tax returns until the age of 81. Bob and Lois operated a London post office for many years. Bob was an avid sports fan, and the Blue Jays, Maple Leafs and London Knights will need to continue without his loyal support.

Many thanks to Bob’s kind neighbours, particularly Jay Benjamin and Heather & Gary Nickell whose support helped Bob stay in his home.

A graveside service will be held at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, 303 Riverside Drive, London on Saturday, October 22, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Those attending are asked to meet at the main office at Mount Pleasant Cemetery prior to the burial to process to the grave together.

Please accept our family's condolences on the loss of Bob. The last time we saw him was when he dropped by my mom, Steffi's, place in June, but he was such a good friend to her for so many years. A former neighbour, he would be quick to do anything for her and they enjoyed many visits and outings together. My mom has not been well for some time, so they had not been in touch much, but we always will be grateful for his friendship to her when she was able to enjoy it.

~ Steffi Hussey and family

My deep and heartfelt sympathies go out to Bob's dear family and friends. I am already missing you! I cherish the many memories we have shared over these past 54 years. Rest in Peace, Bob, my friend!

Condolences to Bob's family and friends. I worked with Bob at Davies/Grant CA's in 1968-'72. I knew Lois Fry from about 1957 when i delivered LFPress to their house in University Heights. Always enjoyed their company. Bob was a straight shooter with dry humour. R.I.P.
