In loving memory of Robert (Bob) Claude Twiss, who passed away peacefully in his own home on June 11, 2024. He was bom in Hamilton, Ontario on November 23, 1936. A day that marked the beginning of a life that would touch the hearts of many.

Bob will be remembered as a devoted husband to his loving wife, Margo Howe. A dedicated father to his children, Roberta, Brooke (Nigel), and Scott (Lisa). A cherished grandfather to Cheyenne and Fallon, and a loving great-grandfather to Isabelle, Amaya, and Paisley.

In addition to being a devoted family man, Bob found fulfillment within the community. He volunteered at the Gibsons Library for many years, where he shared his passion for reading. You could periodically find him on stage at the Heritage Playhouse acting and singing, and for a short time he enjoyed playing ukelele with the local group BUGS. His interest in sharing and enjoying new experiences was a testament to his adventurous nature.

Bob was a man of many talents and passions. His love for gardening, woodworking, and tinkering with his tools was evident in the beautiful creations he made. His hands were skilled, and his imagination boundless.

Those who knew Bob will always remember his interesting stories and his knack for cracking jokes. He had a way of making everyone around him smile, bringing light and joy wherever he went. His vibrant personality and zest for life left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

As Bob's family gather to bid him farewell they will carry with them the memories of a remarkable man who lived life to the fullest and touched the hearts of many. May his legacy of love, laughter, and creativity live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Rest in peace, Robert Claude Twiss.
