Bob Kerr

1928 - July 30, 2023

With deep sorrow we announce the passing of Kenneth Edmund Robert "Bob" Kerr of West Vancouver, on July 30th, 2023. Born in 1928 to Harold and Nellie Kerr, Bob married Deirdre Janet Dewar in 1957 and raised their family in West Vancouver until Deirdre's passing in 1995. Bob was fortunate to find love for a second time and married Mary Pauline Miller in 1998. Bob attended Kitsilano HS, followed by a Bachelor of Architecture at UBC and a Master of Architecture at Rice University. Upon graduation, Bob returned to Vancouver and became a partner with McCarter Nairne (20 yrs), followed by the Unecon Partnership (10 yrs). Not ready to retire, he became a consultant for St. Paul's Hospital (7 yrs). Bob kept busy through associations and memberships with Sertoma, North Shore Family Services, St. David's United Church, Hollyburn CC, WV Lawn Bowling Club and Capilano G&CC; but he was happiest golfing with his sons or winning inter-club events.

Bob is survived by his wife, Mary; his sons, Blair (Lauria) and Graham (Lorraine); his beloved grandchildren, Madison, Kendra, Christian, Malia; as well as step-sons, Laird, Stephen and their families.

The family would like to thank and acknowledge the loving care he received from the doctors and nurses at LGH during his final days. A service for immediate family will take place in the days to come. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Family Services of the North Shore or Lion's Gate Hospital Foundation in memory of Bob.
