<div itemprop="description"><br>It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Robert (Bob) Hall at the age of 91 years. Born in Montreal as the second of five children in a quintessential Montreal family of French Canadian, Irish and Scottish origins, Bob enjoyed boxing and football in his schooldays and graduated as an engineer from McGill University. After serving in the Royal Canadian Navy, Bob ventured to the far North as an engineer on the Pinetree Line…the first detection system designed to identify a Soviet nuclear attack. <br> <br>In 1963, Bob married and built a family with three children soon following. Shortly after in 1965, he founded Corbec Galvanizing…a steel industry business still family owned today. A passion of Bob was charitable donations and fundraising work for many Montreal and West Island community organizations, his work and generosity for the Lakeshore Hospital Foundation, the Old Brewery Mission and many others were some of his greatest pleasures. <br> <br>He is survived by his wife of over 61 years, Giselle, his daughter Michelle and sons Gregory and John as well as his sister Marguerite and brother Richard. We express his gratitude and ours for the many people who cared for him recently at the Jewish General Hospital and Nova West Island (formerly Victorian Order of Nurses). <br> <br>Bob had a magnetic personality, a love for life lived fully and a generous heart that made even his foes soften to him in time. He will be missed and long remembered by all those whose lives crossed with his. <br></div>
