Loving husband, family man and cherished friend.\u00a0 We are deeply saddened to announce that Bob passed away peacefully at Fairvern on March 28, 2026, at the age of 83.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bob was born Dec. 6, 1942, in Orillia, Ontario, to Lorne and Eileen Quantrell. When he was very young, the family moved to Huntsville, where Bob and, later, his sister Janice (Cotterchio-predeceased) lived their entire childhood. His many friends from that time were near and dear to this day. We are forever grateful for the support we received from them and his Dwight friends during these last challenging times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After finishing his schooling in Huntsville, Bob attended Northern Michigan University, where he met his wife, Sherry, of 58 years. They had two wonderful children, son Michael (Tammy) and daughter Jaime.(Graham). They began their life in Clarkson, Ontario, then found their way to the village of Erin, Ontario, where they remained for over 25 years, building strong and lasting friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professionally, Bob worked all his years in the field of commercial sales and service of industrial-sized batteries for forklift trucks.\u00a0 Forming a partnership with his colleague and friend, they established United Battery.\u00a0 After retiring from this successful venture, he and Sherry \u201cretired\u201d to Dwight in 1997.\u00a0 There, they purchased Glen Manor Cottages on Lake of Bays<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always a sportsman, Bob had a love of hockey, golf, hunting and fishing. In his youth, he was an avid and talented hockey player. He was especially proud when his Rotary Juvenile team was inducted into the Huntsville Sports Hall of Fame for being the OMHA Juvenile \u201cB\u201d Hockey Champions\u00a01958-59, 1959-60. He had continued to play hockey, enjoying his time with the OldTimers League in Erin. Golf was always a passion for Bob. He was captain of the Men&#8217;s section at Erin Heights Golf Club and continued to be very active with his regular Huntsville friends. Bob&#8217;s involvement in the Butter Bowl Hunt Club was not only some of his happiest times, but formed bonds that lasted a lifetime. His sense of humour and great storytelling from the camp were so appreciated by his friends and family.\u00a0 For many years, he met weekly with his \u2018old\u2019 Huntsville crew to play poker and trade stories.\u00a0 This time was very important to him and not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bob will be sadly missed and always remembered by his dear family.\u00a0Loving wife Sherry, adored children Michael and Jaime, Proud grandfather to Dylan (Emma), Blake, Mitchell and Audrey, brother-in-law Peter Cotterchio, nephew Wade, niece Andrea (Nick) and grand nephew Colt, brother-in-law Mike Young (Carol), nieces Dana, Deanna, Allison and nephew Christopher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family wishes to send our heartfelt thank you to the dedicated workers and staff at Fairvern. We are forever grateful for their diligent care and support of Bob during his time with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&nbsp;Celebration of life details at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In loving memory of Robert (Bob) Paul Quantrell.
