We regret to advise of the death of Master Warrant Officer Robert “Bob” Dick, CD (Ret’d) In Pembroke ON, at age 87 on 14 February 2026.
Bob was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He immigrated to Canada at the age of eight with his mother and younger brother to join his father who had come a year earlier for work. Bob was raised in Kingston ON, and joined the Canadian Armed Forces and the Royal Canadian Engineers as a Field Engineer with the Apprentice Training Program 6th Intake (1952).
During his 28-year military career, Bob served in Chilliwack BC, Petawawa ON, Lahr, Germany; and on exchange with the Royal School of Military Engineering in Chattenden, England. Following his retirement, Bob pursued a second career with the Ministry of Natural Resources until 2016.
Bob was a proud and devoted member of the Masonic Lodge where he was recognized as Very Worshipful Brother Robert Dick, Past Grand Steward. He was a 50-year service award recipient, a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason, and an active Shriner.
