Truro, NS
March 9, 1960 - July 9, 2024
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Lewis Muir, on July 9, 2024, after a brief and difficult battle with cancer.
Throughout his life, Bob brought joy and laughter to everyone around him.
Born on March 9, 1960, in Windsor, Nova Scotia, Bob moved to Truro with his family in 1969. He loved attending school, played clarinet in the CEC school band, and was a member of the Provincial Junior Men’s Curling Team representing Nova Scotia at the Canadian Curling Championships in Vancouver in 1979.
Bob attended Dalhousie University and worked for the Hudson's Bay Company in both Halifax and Toronto. To further his education, Bob enrolled at Concordia University in Montreal and graduated with a degree in psychology. He returned to Toronto and his career flourished when he joined the Carrot Common Corporation. Bob assumed a managerial position and made significant contributions to the organization.
Bob's adventurous spirit took him to Northern Manitoba where he managed several Northern Stores in remote communities for the North West Company. He embraced the North's natural beauty and became an avid fisherman, dedicated to the catch-and-release method. In the early 2000s, Bob's desire for new challenges brought him back to Halifax where he completed a pharmacy technician diploma program at NSCC. He returned to Truro to support his aging parents and to work for MacQuarries Pharmasave, all the while making lasting friendships and enjoying his community.
Bob's warm smile and sense of humor endeared him to everyone. He was dearly loved by and especially proud of his nieces and nephews, always interested in their lives and cherished spending time with them.
Bob was predeceased by his father, Donald. He is survived by his mother, June; brothers, Jim (Kate) and David (Margaret); family friend, Tomeq Weekes; nephews, John, Stephen, Matthew, and Dawson; and nieces, Eve and Olivia.
The family wishes to extend an invitation to join them at the Truro Golf Club on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. for a gathering to share memories of Bob. A private family funeral will be held at a later date.
Donations in Bob’s memory may be made to a charity of choice.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro.
