We will be forever known by the tracks we leave - Dakota Wisdom

This is a heartfelt tribute to our cherished Bobby. With a heart of gold, he was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. He was a remarkable individual, his wisdom belied his years. Bobby's journey commenced in the quaint town of Bowsman, Manitoba, where he forged enduring friendships that remained close to him throughout his life. The arrival of his first child, Aimee in Leaf Rapids marked the beginning of a beautiful legacy, with many more souls entering this world.

Bobby later moved to Thompson, where the warmth of the community embraced him, allowing him to cultivate lifelong bonds once again. In Thompson, he was surrounded by the love of family, with evenings filled with laughter, late-night card games, and lively rounds of Yahtzee that often stretched into the early hours.

His journey into fatherhood continued in Thompson before he relocated to Winnipeg, where he devoted himself to nurturing the children destined to come. His daughter Ashley Gannon was born and raised in Thompson, Manitoba. In Winnipeg, Manitoba he became the proud father of three beautiful children, Robert “Bobby” Junior, Byron, and Robin, each cherished deeply. Unsurprisingly, while raising three of his younger children, Winnipeg honored him with the title of "Father of the Year," a testament to the love he bestowed upon them.

One of Bobby's treasured pastimes was preparing culinary delights alongside his beloved mother. They shared a profound bond, creating countless enchanting memories together. Robert always made friends wherever he went. His hobbies included watching movies and documentaries, playing games and trying new foods.

Robert leaves in mourning his 5 children Aimee, Ashley, Bobby junior, Byron, and Robin; his 10 grandchildren Rylee, Kimber, Duluth, Krimson, Kayden, Brooklyn, Shaylee, Mason, Kyra and Ryder; his sisters Cathy Beach McFarlane (Gord), Shelly Wernham, Heather Giles, Wanda Hughes, Theresa Merkus; his brothers Jack Audy, James Audy, David Audy and many other loving family members. He joins his parents Charles Audy and Barbara Leask; his grandparents Charles & Katherine Linklater and Malcolm & Alice Audy along with many other loving family members.

Service will be held on Saturday January 25,2025 at 12 noon at Eternal Grace Funerals, 1111 Logan Avenue, cremation to follow.
