Robert Gersthofer
June 18, 1954 - January 31, 2010
Tribute
Gersthofer, Robert June 18, 1954 – January 31, 2010. Passed away after a brief, second, courageous battle with Cancer. Bob will be incredibly missed by his loving friend and wife, Glenda of 33 years. He will also be terribly missed by his son Shaun 19, who he was so proud of. They shared their love of music by listening to Bob’s old, large collection of records or by listening to Shaun play his guitar and drums right to the end. During his life and illness Bob was especially touched by his caring friends. Warren and Diane, Roseanne and Bill, Marie and Charlie and Bonnie and Bill provided unrelenting support and friendship during his very difficult time. He will be missed by his many other friends and nieces and nephews. We would like to thank all the staff at Cowichan District Hospital and Home Nursing for their exceptional and special care of Bob. Also a very special thank you to Dr. Murray Woods for his dedication to Bob’s health. Bob has always credited Dr. Woods for saving his life with his first battle with Cancer in 1998. Bob was a very talented man with a great sense of humor and courage despite all his health challenges. He was an amazing soap stone carver and pursued his dream of building an Endurance 35’ sailboat in Prince George which we brought to Victoria in 1987. He loved sailing. His final project was a rebuild of a 100 year old house. Bob had a career as a Power Engineer which he enjoyed and spent his final years of work at Victoria General Hospital.
The loneliness with out you.
The ache deep in our hearts:
We’ve nothing left but memories.
With them we’ll never part.
A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday February 7th at 2760 Lowery Road in Duncan from 1-4p.m. Love Glenda and Shaun

Quite to my surprise when I Googled your name this posting came up.
I always valued you as a friend as from our time at Phillips Cables to when you moved to Prince George but each life takes people in different directions.
From what i have read you and Glenda were very happy and I am happy for that.
Saddened by your passing – rest in peace Grasshopper- rest in peace.
