Condolences
I have known Rob since kindergarten. We lived 4 houses away. We went to different schools but we were down at the community center playing ice hockey in the winter or football in the summer. Our best times were in our mid to late teens since Rob was the first one of the guys to get a drivers license and we were out cruising all the time. We went in different directions after high school but we tried to get in touch whenever either one of us was in town. That was a bit tricky since I haven't lived there since 1987. Just since my wedding in 2002 we really got back in touch and kept in touch. He was one of my oldest friends. It was always good to call him as he was genuinely happy to hear from me. We had so many funny memories growing up. We were laughing like crazy when I talked to him just before he passed. Luckily I was able to do that. Hardest phone call I ever made as I knew what was happening with him. Special thanks to Tim Lavalley for getting in touch with me to let me know. He will be missed by all that knew him. And the next time I get back to Calgary we will try get together and have a proper send off for a great friend to all .
I got into a bad car accident and moved into Kingsland Terence in 2016. I wasn't one to sit in my room. I ventured out and met Rob. We created a good friendship. We would always talk and laugh. I would go out of my room every day and visit with him. I had a special bond with Rob. When I moved out of the house I would always go back and visit him. I would spend hours with him playing crib and talking about whatever was on our minds. I felt comfort in him, trusted him, he would give me advise on the questions I asked about my life. When Rob smiled it was from ear to ear. When he grinned I would smile back with him. He's gentle, honest, generous, soothing, never complained about himself, always worried about me asking how I was. At that point I could truly call him a good friend. He had a sparkle in his eye that I will never forget. I'm glad that I met Rob Leitch. He is no longer with us, but he will never be forgotten. All I have to do is think of that smile and it will bring back the warm thoughts and good memories of him.
Rob was a great friend to my late husband Brian Tarnowski. He was a wonderful best man at our wedding. Rob & Brian made many memories and enjoyed life to the fullest in their earlier years. Catherine and Rob loved to see Brandin, our first born. We never had enough visits together, as life gets in the way. Brian passed around the same time as Catherine and Rob and I shared their memories. I was so happy to see Rob at the airport a few months ago, not knowing it be our last. I hope Rob is happy seeing Catherine, Brian and all the others who have passed before him. He was a wonderful man. Love you!
I will deeply miss Rob. He helped me through my cancer journey so much. His sense of humour and personality touched my heart. 9E4tb
He was a generous kind soul always there to listen. He has changed me for the better and he will always be a part of me and I will remember him always love you Rob ❤️
I can’t express how sorry I am for your loss. I meet Rob 3 years ago when my girlfriend moved into Kingsland and one of the first people we meet was Rob. You knew he was that guy you want to know more and I did over the two in a half years Terri was there. We did workouts together then I started to volunteer as well and saw more and more of everyone but I so enjoy my time with Rob. Rob is the most amazing guy I have ever known kind loving always there for others and amazingly funny. You will be missed dearly by all of us.
Terri and my deepest condolences to your family
