PRESTON: It is with deep sadness in our hearts we announce the sudden passing of beloved husband and father, Robert Erl Preston of Kemnay, Manitoba. Bob passed away suddenly Tuesday morning August 25, 2009 at the Brandon Regional Health Centre. Born November 26, 1950 to late Erl and Shirley Preston. Bob was raised in Brandon later moving to Kemnay. In 1970 he
married Janice Wilson of Dauphin. Bob and Jan
spent most of their years in Kemnay, raising their
children Erl James (Kirby Sararas) and Marie Ann
(Ed Young). Bob worked most of his life driving
truck, highway driving or construction. He was a man
of many talents and trades. Bob was the type of man
that would give you the last shirt off his back if he
knew it would help that other person out. He was a
very family oriented man and loved to help us all out
where and when he could. He was respected and loved
dearly by his family and friends. He will be greatly
missed. Bob is survived by his wife Janice Preston;
son Erl Preston (Kirby Sararas); daughter Marie
Ann (Ed Young) and Colton Young; brother Bruce Preston (Bev); sister Edna Davies (Larry Lanthier); brother Larry Preston; sister Joyce Preston; brother Ken
Massina (Joan); nieces, Kerrie Gibbs (Al, Lyndsi,
Abigaele, AJ and Cody); Stacey Hutton (Chuck, Charleigh); Tanya Tanchak (Allan, son Branden);
Tracy Snyder (son, Preston); Tanya Askew (Marshall, Taylor and Teyanna); and nephew Kurtiss Massina (Kerrie, Ryley, Keyen). To celebrate Bob's life there
will be a service at Alexander Cemetery Friday, August 28, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Shannon McCarthy officiating. Those that knew him and loved him are welcome. Everyone is welcome to a gathering at Marie and Ed's home in Kemnay after the service. Expressions of sympathy may be made at www.memorieschapel.com
