March 28, 1946 – January 24, 2020

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Robert (Bob) Sinclair McIvor on January 24th at the Royal Inland Hospital. He was a loving and dedicated husband and father.

Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Bob and his young family moved to Ontario in 1969. Eventually, he settled in Kamloops in 1977. He was a hard worker and a life-long learner, earning his Master’s Degree in Theology at the age of 70.

Bob loved to read and could often be found at Thompson Rivers University library or the Kamloops Public library conducting research. He discovered a post-retirement passion for writing and submitted several articles for magazines and published his own research on the Star of Bethlehem.

Bob enjoyed telling stories, getting into debates, playing guitar and playing games with his family. He had an analytical mind and a great sense of humour.

Most of all, Bob loved his family. He loved to travel with his wife to explore areas of his research or visit family in Northern Ireland and the Bahamas. Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 54 years, Emily; his daughter Patti (Brent) Roberts; his son James and his 3 grandchildren Aidan, Tristan and Cassidy plus many other friends and family in Canada, Northern Ireland, Australia and the Bahamas.

Bob was a vibrant man and will be missed so very much because he was loved so much. Bob took comfort in his Christian faith and we have some comfort knowing he is reunited with his loved ones who have already passed.

As was his request, Bob was cremated and his ashes will be laid by his family in Northern Ireland. May his soul rest in peace. Condolences can be sent to the family by visiting www.schoeningfuneralservices.com Arrangements entrusted to Scheoning Funeral Services 250-374-1454.
