In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
ALCE, Robert (Bob) - With deep sorrow and love, we announce the passing of Bob Alce on June 24, 2025, in Victoria, BC-just five weeks after the heartbreaking loss of his beloved wife, Linda. The bond they shared was extraordinary, and the timing of their passings reflects a love that truly endured to the end.
Born in Ottawa, Bob lived a life marked by dedication, humor, and loyalty. He proudly served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 27 years and continued his commitment to service through his 13-year career with NATO. His work ethic, sense of duty, and positive outlook earned him the admiration of colleagues across the globe.
Bob was also a passionate badminton player, who competed for many years and loved the sport. Off the court, he had a playful side-he adored Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, loved seafood, and Lululemon.
Bob was a devoted father to his loving daughters, Shannon Taylor-Alce (Clayton) and Tegan Alce. His strength, humour, and reliable presence brought comfort to those around him. He was loved and will be profoundly missed by his family, friends, colleagues and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A celebration of Bob's life will be held on Monday, July 28 from 1-3 p.m. in the party room at 3580 Rivergate Way, Ottawa, Ontario.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Bob's memory to the Canadian Cancer Society would be gratefully appreciated. (The Victoria Times Colonist 05 Jul 2025)
