December 12, 1944 ~ May 21, 2022
Robert J Marshall, age 77, passed away at the St. Boniface Hospital on May 21, 2022. Bob is survived by his sons Robert, William, Ryan, Brent, Bradley and Shayne, his sisters Elaine, Anne, Linda and Joan, grandchildren Kailey, Lisha, Megan, Nicol, Francisco, Braiden and Ariah. He was a friendly, helpful, caring person who will be lovingly remembered by family, friends, and his partner Diane. He is predeceased by his parents Aimo and Florence, his sister Wendy, and his son Derek. Bob raised four sons with his first wife, Linda, and three sons with his second wife Valerie.
Bob was born in Ottawa and was raised in Fort Frances, ON. He married his high school sweetheart and started a family with four sons. Bob always had a talent for engine repair, and was always tinkering with something. His first working years were spent in “The Shop”, working on small engines with his father. He later worked for social housing before moving to Winnipeg in the early 1980s. He worked as a mechanic for some time, before starting his job as a commissionaire in the late 80’s. Shortly after, he married his second wife Valerie, with whom he had three sons.
In his later years, Bob loved spending time with his grandchildren, seeing friends at the Legion, and exploring new places with his partner Diane. He loved his job as a commissionaire, and was a smiling face to welcome people to the Tax Centre building for the rest of his life. He leaves behind fond memories and life lessons for so many people, and will forever be missed by loved ones.

Condolences for the family of “Robert J. Marshall”
So very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was such a nice man, that managed to know the names of so very many people at the tax centre. He made a point of greeting us, which was so nice in such a large faceless work environment. My condolences to his family and friends.
Bob has been a supporting figure in my life since I first started with the Government. It was our mutual love of small engines that brought us together and a great friendship developed and blossomed ever since. It is with great sadness that I pass along my condolences and say thank you for many years of memories. I remember one time when I brought my daughters to work to feed the geese and Bob went into the cafeteria to buy us some extra bread and brought it out to us, because he saw how much fun we were having and he didn’t want us to interrupt our fun! A true gentleman and friend. Thanks for everything Bob!! You will be remembered with much fondness.
I was shocked to see this!! Bob was 1 of my favourite Smiling faces when I would come in everyday! May you Rest In Peace Bob!
Love and miss you brother. Party on in heaven. Hugs to all the family

To the family i am so sorry for your loss and I want to say Bob you will be missed.I had the pleasure of growing up with his four boys Bill ,Bobby,Ryan and Derek and Bob was like a father to me through a large portion of my life and I will miss him .
Bob was always smiling and cheerful. He would also greet by saying Hi Dee .. and I would always reply why do you call me Heidi lol that was our laugh of the day .. You will be missed deeply
Approximately 60 years ago cousin Bob came to stay with us for a month in Oregon. He was a temporary big brother in a family of girls. I saw him again a few years later when I visited the Marshall’s in Canada. I’ve kept in touch with his sisters. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. Loved the obituary as I feel that I learned that he was a wonderful human being and family man. RIP.

Thanks for being such a great friend and coworker. It was a pleasure to talk with you and know you. May you rest peacefully Bob. My condolences to your family.
Bob, my friend and co-worker. I was glad we talked almost every day. You will be missed at work, and in life. My heart goes out to your family. Time will heal sorrow, but memories live forever. RIP Bob..
I really liked Bob. I work at CRA and I was amazed that he knew my name. Every time he wasn’t busy we would have nice conversations. I will really miss him.
From the first time I met Bob I knew he was a unique and special person. He was a great mentor, friend and coworker. It was an honor to work along side him with the Commissionaires. RIP Bob
