Obituary of Bob Tweedie

Robert “Bob” Tweedie of Fredericton, NB, husband of Myrna (Clark) Tweedie, left us on November 20, 2021 to start his new life in heaven.  Born on February 10, 1937 in Fredericton, NB, he was the son of the late Vaughn and Bessie (Logan) Tweedie. 

 

Bob lived in Sussex until the age of 5, then moved to Miramichi where he lived until moving back to Fredericton (Marysville) in 1970. The last several years living in Miramichi he managed two Save Easy stores. Bob had a great love for cars and trucks. He drove long-haul transport for many years and had his own body shop where he spent many long days working on vehicles, as well as his 1960’s Classic Cars and his 1963 Corvette. Bob made many great friends over the years and enjoyed hearing and sharing stories with them.

 

Besides his wife Myrna, Bob is survived by his shared son Darren Dorcas (Claire); special nephew Steven Dorcas (Amanda); special niece Sheryl Dorcas Stafford (Richard); special friend/brother Louie Clark; many nieces and nephews; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law Ardith Clark, Maxine Toomey, Judy(Dave) Dorcas, Carol (Bruce) Baker, Alden (Sharon) Clark and Gary (Barb) Clark.  He was predeceased by father-in-law and mother-in-law Vinton and Ardath Clark; brothers-in-law Albert Clark and Winston Toomey; special niece Tina Clark.
