Robert “Bob” William Willhoft
September 23rd, 1933 – February 26th, 2024
With broken hearts we announce the passing of our beloved Robert “Bob” William Willhoft, aged 90 years of Moose Jaw, SK. He was predeceased by his parents, Katherine and Charles Willhoft; his ten siblings; sons, Wade and Peter; and step-grandson, Calvin. Bob is survived by his loving wife, Carroll Anne Willhoft; stepchildren: Leeann (Brad), Patricia (David), and Dennis (Helen); grandchildren: Tracy (Dave), Jared (Saron), Robin (Casey), and Melissa (Kyler); and four great-granddaughters. He also leaves behind, his in-laws: Audrey, Claire (James), Bonnie, and Leo; his only cousin, Sheila Hassey; as well as several nieces, nephews and their families across Canada.
Bob was a farmer in the Mortlach, SK area for most of his life. He was a dedicated plumber and helping others was his passion. He received an award for the oldest working plumber in Canada. Bob would often help the less fortunate, only charging people for the parts he needed. He was also an instructor for plumbing at STI. In his early years, Bob gave his mother her first indoor bathroom on the farm. He was a mentor to many, an inventor, and was classified as a genius.
Bob cared about and loved his many friends and neighbours who were like his chosen family. His special friend Harvey Marcil often took Bob on many adventures.
Bob will be lovingly missed by his special nieces, Donna Koch and Margie Spearman. “Our projects and road trips are finished.”
A Celebration of Bob’s Life will be held on Saturday, April 6th, 2024 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Army and Navy Vets, 279 High St W, Moose Jaw, SK. Please bring your favourite memories of Bob to share. As an expression of sympathy and in respect for Bob, he would like you all to be kind and do something good for someone less fortunate. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Michelle Ellis, Funeral Director 306-693-4550

Thinking of all the families.
Bobby knew me my whole life,From putting in the furnace when we got the power to me riding to his yard,as many days as possible,
to help build on his house,I piled those glass bricks.I bought the best hay from him and his jokes and antics were well known.You will be missed.
My sincere condolences Carroll and families. As many, I am going to
miss him! I loved his visits when he came in for material at Emco.
He was a very kind and sincere gentleman.
Rest in peace dear Bob. You are free from pain.
Carroll and Family; Our deepest sympathy on the loss of Bob. We hope all your wonderful memories will comfort you in the difficult days ahead.
