Bob passed away on Saturday, May 16, 2020 at the age of 78. Born on June 24, 1941 in Sackville, NB, he was the son of the late Mildred (Sears) and George Fillmore. Born in Sackville and raised in Tidnish, he worked at various jobs in his early years and for RCI for 31 years as a mechanical rigger. Bob loved spending time at his camp in Baie Verte, where he enjoyed hunting, gardening and tapping trees to make maple syrup. He collected and fixed up antique machinery and spent his summers at his cottage at Mason’s Beach. Bob loved animals and music, especially blue grass.
