Please share a memory of Robert to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
O’LEARY, Robert Leo – Age 64 years of Canso. It is with profound sadness that I announce the passing of my dear, beloved husband of 38 years. Robert passed away in Eastern Memorial Hospital, Canso, Guysborough County on Monday, Oct. 1, 2018. He loved life to the fullest. He was a son of Winnifred Gertrude Cluney and Osborne Patrick O’Leary of Queensport. He is survived by his wife, Audrey; brother, Wayne (Pauline); sisters, Darlene (Ian), Maxine (Kevin P), Donna (Josh) and Debbie (Kevin) as well as many nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
Robert was a hard worker and tried his hand at many different jobs. He fished in the summers with his dad and other fishermen. He managed the refrigeration plant at The Canso Seafood’s for many years. Due to illness he had to retire from there, at which time he opened O’Leary’s Small Engine Repairs in their backyard. He enjoyed spending countless hours at his job. He was mostly self-taught until he decided to take a correspondence course on-line. On completion, his dream came true and many people frequented his shop over the past 20 years leaving with a much lighter spirit than when they came.
A big thank you to all doctors & nurses in Canso, Antigonish & Halifax, who attended to Robert and a very special thank-you to Dr. Sullivan for being there for Robert for many years.
