November 12th, 1954 - February 27th, 2024
LEWIS, Norman Robert Arthur, aged 69, of Toronto, passed away unexpectedly on February 27, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness that will be cherished by all who knew him. He is predeceased by his parents Norman (2015) and Gwendolyn (2019) and is survived by his wife Jacqui, his children Gwendolyn and James; their mother Wendy, his sister Wendy (Joe), and his brother James (Kathy). He was a cherished uncle to Jennifer, Leigh, Andrea, Wesley, and Garrett (2014) and a great-uncle to Evelyn, Harrison, Elle, Alexander, Emily, Theodore, Kate and Charlotte.
Robert was a man of remarkable generosity, kindness, and gentleness. His unwavering love for his family, poodles, and his passion for corvettes and business illuminated every aspect of his life. He was fiercely loyal and protective of those he held dear, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A “lefty”, he will be deeply missed, but fondly remembered by his family, friends, animals and all who were touched by his unique character, intellect and charisma.
A heartfelt thank you is extended to Tessa, as well as the staff at Haliburton Highlands Health Services Emergency Department, for their dedicated and compassionate care.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, March 8, from 1-3 p.m. at the Roadhouse & Rose Funeral Home at 157 Main Street South in Newmarket.
