It is with great sadness we announce the
passing of Robert "Bob" Patrick Logan
Farrell, age 78, of Springhill, Nova Scotia. Bob passed
away peacefully after a three-year battle with cancer at the
Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre on Thursday, October 10,
2019.
Born in Springhill, Nova Scotia, he was
the son of the late George and Elsie (Rushton)

Bob was a family man, always happy when
family was around. He could always be found smiling and at his
happiest when spending time with his grandchildren. He was an avid
hunter, always looking forward to time in the woods, and he loved to
fish. Bob loved music and playing guitar and the harmonica. Bob and
Carol loved to go dancing. They were unbelievable on the dance
floor, especially when doing the jive.
Bob will be dearly missed by his loving
wife of 57 years, the former Carol Spence, Springhill. They were
looking forward to their 58th wedding anniversary on October 28th. He
will also be missed by his sons, Patrick (Crystal), Amherst, Joseph R.
