    • PETZNICK, Robert Irvin (Bob) - Formerly of Kitchener and Fordwich, passed away suddenly at his residence in Vernon, BC on Thursday, December 27, 2007, just one day prior to his 84th birthday. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Jeanne, to whom he was married for 55 years; his children, Gail (Tim) Sperling of Kitchener, Ont., Glen (Moya) Petznick of Salmon Arm, BC, Randy (Chris) Petznick of Elmira, Ont. and Dianne (Rick) Green of Kitchener, Ont.; his grandchildren, Julie and Steven Sperling, Sarah, Hayley and Gavin Petznick and Jamie and Jason Petznick; one brother, Gordon (June) Petznick of London, Ont.; one sister, Bernett Browne of Willowdale, Ont.; several nieces, nephews and extended family members. He was preceded in death by one brother, Verner Petznick and two sisters, Dorothy Petznick and Bernice Pequegnat. Bob was an employee of the Record for 49 years. He was a veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy and a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch No. 25. An avid Skier, he was very actively involved in the development of Chicopee Ski Club as a member of the ski patrol, club president and head ski instructor. Cremation preceded the Funeral Service which will be held at Peace Lutheran Church in Vernon on Friday, January 4, 2008 at 2: 30 pm. There will be a celebration of Bob's life at a later date when the interment is held in Waterloo, Ont. Donations in memory of Bob may be made to the CNIB or to the charity of your choice. When once asked to share in writing some significant accomplishment that Bob felt he had achieved in life, he wrote this: "Raising a family of which I am extremely proud." Funeral arrangements have been made with Bethel Funeral Chapel Ltd., 5605 27th Street, Vernon, BC V1T 8Z5 (250-542-1187).
