    Died:
    ?tab?Burns, Robert Lindsay
    Robert (Bob) L. Burns went peacefully to be with the Lord on February 3, 2011. Bob is survived by his loving and ever-loyal wife of 49 years, Evelyn, his two daughters Barbara and Beverly, three granddaughters Robyn, Meagan and Brooke, and grandson, David. Bob was raised and educated in Nanaimo. After completing high school, he attended UBC where he studied sciences. Returning home, he joined Jean Burns Ltd., a thriving family fashion business, and continued until the early 1980's when he entered full-time Christian service. Wakesiah Gospel Chapel, Camp Imadene and Christian Camping International (CCI) were all very dear to Bob's heart. His leadership role in each afforded him extraordinary opportunity to touch the lives of many.A devoted and gifted minister for 40 years, Bob's unfaltering vision, commitment and faithful devotion to God's work is perhaps his most important legacy. Bob's self-sacrifice and care for others was as natural to him as breathing. It is this life sustaining service that his family, friends and colleagues will undoubtedly and unendingly remember him by. A true creative genius, Bob will long be remembered for his Sunday School of the Air radio program, elaborate Christmas concerts, and chorale presentations.Bob's four grandchildren, to whom he was affectionately known as Pa, will always treasure his love of life and family, sense of humor and adventuresome spirit. His family has dear memories of his original poetry, story telling, and his love of relaxing while puttering in the garden or taking long walks on Qualicum Beach, his favorite place on earth.The family would like to express their heart-felt appreciation of the exceptional and compassionate care of Bob by the staff of Nanaimo Travellers Lodge A celebration of Bob's life will be held at 2:00 pm, Saturday, February 12, 2011 at Christ Community Church, 2221 Bowen Rd. Reception to be followed at Wakesiah Gospel Chapel. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bo...
