It is with saddened hearts the family of Robert (Bob) Allan Courser announce his passing on January 1, 2019, at West Coast General Hospital.

An avid fisherman, both commercially and for recreation, Bob always knew the best fishing holes. 

Predeceased by his parents Dale and Ruth Courser, Bob is survived by his children:

Trish, James, John and Ed (Jody, his grandchildren Cassandra (John) Gage, Brandy and Alisha also his brothers Richard (Cinda), Darrell (Diane), Gary (Rose) and David, along with numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

In his last few years, Bob's greatest pleasure was visiting the dog park with his babies.

Bob will be greatly missed by his family, many friends and his beloved pets. 

As per his request there will be no service, cremation has already taken place with interment to follow.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the many medical professionals that have assisted Bob throughout the course of his illness.
