Bob was born in Kimberley on July 7, 1942 to Frank and Edna Misuraca. He grew up enjoying many outdoor activities and spent much leisure time hiking, skiing and golfing. He loved the area and, after several years studying and working in Vancouver, chose to make his home in Kimberley with his wife Regan and his sons Michael and Colin. He was a devoted and loving son, husband, father and grandfather. He treasured the time spent at Whiteswan Lake where he enjoyed fishing, boating, hunting and visiting with family and friends. His passion for the outdoors and nature continued throughout his life.

Bob had a long and varied career, always delighting in the challenge of learning new skills. From his interest in electronics and instrumentation to his pursuit of education, counselling, international education, student services and college administration, his focus was always centered on his connection with the people he met and befriended along the way.

He was an avid volunteer and served on the boards of many community programs, including the North Star Ski Hill and the Kimberley Public Library. For years, he was a director for the Wildlife Heritage Foundation, a member of the B.C. Forest Alliance and served on the board of the Canadian Mental Health Association. He was always compassionate and intent on helping people with their challenges.

Bob is survived by his devoted family – wife Regan, sons Michael (Sue) and Colin, and his much adored grandson Oliver. He also leaves his brother-in-law Bob O’Brien (Debbie), sister-in-law Mary O’Brien, his Uncle John Misuraca, his cousins, nieces and nephews.

A gathering for family and friends will be held at a later time.

In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Bob’s memory to a charity of your choice.

Bob will be dearly missed.
