Robert ""Bob"" Dafoe 1931 ~ 2013

Mr. Robert ""Bob"" Dafoe beloved father & grandfather passed away on Monday, August 19, 2013 at the age of 81 years.

Bob was born in Chilliwack, B.C., where he attended elementary school and later moved to Vancouver where he attended high school. Bob decided to follow in his father's military footsteps and chose to join the RCMP in Vancouver; he then began vigorous training in Regina and Ottawa. In 1953, Bob became a Constable with the RCMP and was initially sent to Edmonton, AB for his first posting, then to Peace River, Fairview, McClennan, Grand Prairie, Slave Lake, and Faust. It was in Faust that Bob met and married Elaine Beamish and in 1958 they moved to Grand Prairie together. They continued their postings in such places as Oyen, AB, Fort Macleod, Brooks, Calgary, and Leduc at which point he retired and went to work for Woodwards in the security division managing stores in both British Columbia and Alberta. He was then transferred to Vancouver where he and Elaine lived for 10 years. Following his retirement from Woodwards, he sold real estate in the lower mainland area for a short period of time. When he ""completely"" retired, he and Elaine moved to Lethbridge to be closer to family. Following the death of Elaine (nee Beamish), in 2003, Bob married Ingrid Dawson in 2007. Bob was always passionate about landscaping and gardening.

Bob is survived by his daughter Janice (Wayne) Zoeteman and grandchildren Lindsay, Joshua and Allyssa Zoeteman. Bob is also survived by his Step son Chris (Lee Anne) Dawson and step grandchildren Leah and Caleb Dawson.
