ROBERT MOROZ
A product of Winnipeg's North End, Bob spent his early years in Point Douglas. In his childhood, he enjoyed train trips to Vancouver with his sister, Joy, where they spent the summers playing at the beach and getting into innocent mischief with their cousins. He attended Sisler High School and was scouted by American college football teams for his defensive skills as a linebacker. A lover of the outdoors, Bob camped, fished and hunted ducks with friends and family alike.
He married his wife of 54 years, Pennie (nee Emes) in Winnipeg in 1966, and five years later relocated to Vancouver where their children, Derek and Erin were born. They returned to Winnipeg in 1977 where they raised their family. Bob spent most of his career working with the City of Winnipeg and retired in 2003.
Bob's family was the most important thing in his world. He was a selfless Dad and was an ever-present fixture at hockey, ringette, soccer and volleyball games - whether it be in the bitter cold at an outdoor rink or 8:00 a.m. courtside, he was always there. His four grandchildren were the light of his life and he will be dearly missed by Elliot, Carter, Simon and Hadley. He enjoyed many trips with Pennie over the years to visit his daughter's family in Canmore, Alberta, and joked it was his second home.
He is survived by his wife, Pennie, and children, Derek (Bobbi-Jo) and Erin (Dave) and their families. He will be dearly missed by his sister Joy Thurston and his nephews, Brad and Brent.
He was predeceased by his parents, Stanley and Stella, and his brother-in-law Larry Thurston.
We cannot believe he is gone, and we will love and miss him always. Bob, Dad, Grandpa, you are forever loved.
In Bob's memory, donations to KidSport Manitoba are appreciated.

Our condolences to you Pennie, Derek, Bobbi-Jo, Erin, Dave and grandchildren. When our children were growing up we were often meeting at rinks, playing fields and the likes and Bob and Pennie would always have a pleasant hello and conversation. As time went on Derek and Scott have remained lifelong friends. We hope for all of you, peace will come early and your reflections of the wonderful man he was, will bring a smile to your faces, and a warmth in your hearts. - Posted by: Len and Vicki Lazaruk, Scott, Michael, Shannon and Mark, Kenzie and Cole (long time friends) on: Feb 06, 2021
