We Remember

CHRISTL, Robert Rolf Edward

August 31, 1931 — November 12, 2024

Robert Rolf Edward Christl, better known as Bob, died peacefully in Kelowna, BC, on November 12, 2024, at the age of 93. Bob is survived by his 5 children Nina (Rick), Ava, Cora (Roger), Sandra (Willie), and Rob (Trish), plus his 3 grandchildren, Christal, Caprice, and Graysen. He was predeceased by his wife, Margit, and their daughter Sarah.

Bob was born in Germany on August 31, 1931. He and Margit immigrated to Canada in the early 1950s, and, after a few years on Vancouver Island, settled in Terrace, BC, where they owned and operated Terrace Equipment Sales. After the family moved to Kelowna in 1974, he opened Candid Camera Centre, bringing his lifelong passion for photography to his new community.

Bob was a proud Canadian, an enthusiastic jazz fan, and later in life, an avid tennis player.

His family would like to thank the staff at Cottonwoods Care Centre and Kelowna General Hospital for their kindness and dedication.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
