MR. ROBERT “BOB” ALLAN YORGASON, beloved husband of Mrs. Edith Yorgason of Lethbridge, passed away at the St. Michael’s Health Centre on Saturday, May 8, 2010 at the age of 84 years.
Besides his loving wife, he is survived by Edie’s children; Robert (Billi) and family of Pincher Creek, Sandra Lowe and family of Edmonton, Susan (Tracy) and family of Lethbridge, sisters in law; Kitty and Emily Yorgason, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Bob was predeceased by his parents, Roy and Florence Yorgason, brothers John (Mona) Donald, Marvin (Hazel), Doyle and sister Muriel (Boyd) Long.
Though an enthusiast of all sports, Bob’s greatest love was baseball. In his youth, he was a pitcher. He was an ever faithful Maple Leaf fan. Golf took precedence when he and Edie married and moved to Hinton.
Bob was well known for his very dry sense of humour. This was evident even to his last days.
A Memorial Service will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB, on Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 11:00 A.M.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bob’s memory to St. Michael’s Palliative Care, 1400 - 9 Ave South Lethbridge AB, T1J 4V5.
