It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Hector Knecht on May 28, 2018 at the age of 89.

Bob was pre-deceased by his parents Otto and Ellen Knecht; brothers Gordon and Don; and by his in-laws, Ted and Emma Schmidt.

The family would like to express a sincere thank you to the Staff at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, for their kindness, care, and compassion shown to Bob during his stay.
