Robert (Bob) Christopher Hele
August 24, 1934-November 17, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we wish to announce the passing of our wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, Robert (Bob) Christopher Hele. Born on Saltspring Island August 24, 1934, he passed peacefully in the Lady Minto Hospital on November 17, 2025. We are eternally grateful for the kind, attentive and respectful care Dad received from all of the staff at Lady Minto.
Dad led an exceptionally well lived life of hard work, adventure, innovation, love of his family and this great land he grew up on. He possessed an exceptionally quick and dry wit, was a deeply loving man to his wife Diane of 70 years and to his daughters Christine, Catherine, Suzanne and Alexandra, his grandchildren Nadia, Zane, Robert, Madison, Claire and Jacqueline, and his great grandchildren Liam, Novalee, Cohen, Esme, Sienna and Coco, and his son in laws Saubrie and Richard. We all adore him and will miss him terribly. He was a gem beyond measure.
On November 25, 2025 at 1 pm, Dad will be laid to rest in the cemetery at Central, amongst family members who have gone before him.
