Obituary
elevated z6DE9 It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts we announce that after a long, hard, and brave fight for thirteen years, on Saturday April 15/23, beloved husband and father Robert Crema lost his battle to Parkinson’s at the age of sixty. Robert was a force of nature. He was highly intelligent, physically strong, hardworking and devoted family man. He adored his wife Ann and was her rock for thirty-six years. He loved his boys and was a wonderful father to Jason (TerryLynn) and Zachary (Sarah). Robert was proud ‘Pops’ to Parker and Mackenzie and fought for more time to see his precious grandchildren grow up. Alas, surrounded by his family, Robert surrendered his strength and gracefully took his last breath to find peace and eternal tranquility. Robert was a cherished son to Maria and the late Anthony and loving brother to Susan (John Deotto). Robert will be fondly missed by his sister-in-law Angie Lamonaca (the late Nick Bada), brother in law Gary (the late Julie Stevenson), many nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Rob was a great man in so many ways. And “will be missed” cannot begin to describe it. I will forever remember his kindness. His huge smile. His wittiness. That he never judged anyone, accepted you as you were and respected everyone just the same. It was an honour to know him and I am blessed that he was a part of my life.
Big hugs and kisses Ann, Jason & Zachary
Love you all very much !!!

I am incredibly saddened to hear this news. Robert and his family lived 3 doors from my family and Robert was a bright light of goodness and kindness every day. Words cannot explain how earth shattering this news is for a boy who grew up knowing Robert was always there for me if I needed him. I wish I kept in touch with Robert as I grew up and wish Anne and his children sincere condolences with their immense loss. Treasure every memory of this treasured man.
