Penney: Robert "Bob" - passed away peacefully at the Kingston General Hospital on Tuesday June 15, 2010 in his 69 th year. Beloved husband of Lynn (nee Petit) of Amherstview. Loving father of Angie Gruhs (Luc) of Ottawa, Frank of Embrun, James (Kathy) of Fredericton, N.B. and Steven (Meghan) of Kanata. Dear Grandfather of Andre, Kris, Stephanie and Logan. Fondly remembered by his many family and friends. Bob joined as a Soldier Apprentice at the age of 16, serving with the Royal Canadian Signal Corps for 38 years as a Radio Operator with numerous decorations within the Canadian Forces, finally retiring as a highly decorated Chief Warrant Officer in Kingston. He did not stay retired for long, returning to instruct young radio operators for several years, and along with formal instruction, he taught them the art of humour, where he was a master of the trade. He was very proud of his four children, all doing extremely well. He gives most of the credit for this to his best friend and wife Lynn of 30 years. Bob often said he had an exciting and rewarding life and no regrets. Where else can you have the challenges, travel and be happy with the love of his life, children and friends? Recently, Bob said that Amigo (furry friend) was waiting for him.
