Obituary of Robert "Bob" Maveety

It is with great sadness that the family of the late Robert “Bob” Maveety announce his passing on Friday, May 27th, 2016 at the age of 89. Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 69 years, Myrtle; sons Steve and Mike; grandchildren John, Jim and Mary; great-grandchildren Mason and Chloe; sister Roberta (Sis) and brother, Ed. Predeceased by a son, Bob (Jr.) and a sister, Grace. Bob was born in Chicago on March 18, 1927. He grew up in Ottawa where he worked for International Harvester prior to transferring to Burlington where he retired after 34 years of service. He and Myrtle then moved to Arnprior. He joined the Army at the age of 17 as a “Boy Soldier” as part of the Canadian Technical Training Corps (CTTC). This program allowed underage recruits who wanted to do their part for their country to complete military training in preparation for active duty at the age of 18. He was a charter member of the Westboro Legion Branch 480 and a member of the Arnprior Legion Branch 174. Family and friends were invited to pay their respects at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Monday June 6th from 4 to 6 p.m. A Legion Tribute will be conducted at 6 o’clock. A reception will follow. All are welcome to attend. Donations in memory of Bob can be made to the Arnprior Hospital Partners in Caring Foundation.
