We Remember

CLAYTON, Robert Lawrence
May 31, 1926 — February 5, 2020
THE FAMILY HAS DECIDED TO POSTPONE THE MEMORIAL SERVICE TO A LATER DATE WHEN IT WILL BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO GATHER
With heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our Dad “Bob”, at the age of 93, on February 5, 2020. He leaves behind his daughters Vivian Schramm and Penny Clayton; his son Robert Clayton; his seven grandchildren and two step grandchildren; as well as his three great-grandchildren and six step great-grandchildren. He was sadly predeceased by both his wife Audrey Clayton (née Garbutt) and his second wife Grace Clayton (née Taylor); and also, his stepdaughter Wendy Murray.
Bob was born in Ontario on May 31, 1926. He then met his wife, Audrey, during the war years in Vernon, BC and they were married in 1947. Later, he married Grace and moved to Kelowna, BC in 1978.
Bob was a man of many professions, but whatever he was selling he did it with passion. He had a very soft heart for animals/birds and was known to bring home animals that needed love and attention.
Bob was very involved in his community through Rotary, Church, and other projects. When something needed to be done, he was the man to finish the job.
His great big personality will be missed by all his friends and family.
A Memorial Service will be held at a later date due to safety of the community. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.
If you wish to send a condolence, post photos or share a memory, please scroll down the page to the area called “Condolences”.
Bob was a very kind and caring man. We will miss him greatly. Condolences to all the family in British Columbia. Love, Ryan, Lulu, Olivia and Jasper Murray
We were so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was a very interesting and lovely caring person. His bone carving collection was unique and amazing which he generously donated to a museum for others to enjoy. We feel honoured to have known and to have spent some time with him. He was fortunate to have lived a happy reasonably healthy life and experienced so much during his 93 years.
We send our heartfelt condolences to you and the family.
