OBITUARY Robert (Bob) Gill Sr. passed away suddenly on Saturday November 7, 1998 at the age of 79. He leaves behind his wife Mary, son Irving, daughters Dixie and Pat, ten grandchildren, two great-grandchildren great-grandchildren and his sister Bertha who resides in Langley, B.C. The Gill family arrived in Bowmanvillc in September 1954, having purchased the Royal Theatre on King Street, which they operated until its closing in 1969. Many fine movies were shown at the Royal and some older citizens will recall the "Chariot Race" down main street to promote the spectacular epic "Ben Hur". In the 1960's when television encroached on the movie business and attendance dropped drastically, the theatre was sold and the Gills looked for another enterprise. Thus in the early 70's Robert and son Irv bought a few acres of marsh at the mouth of Bowmanville creek and proceeded to construct construct what is now the Port Darlington Marina. The Marina celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. Robert loved the outdoors and was a member of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. He also belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Florence Nightingale Lodge No. 66 of Bowmanville. Robert and Mary enjoyed travel and over the years visited many Asian and European countries. Robert will be sadly missed by Mary and their family who wish to thank their many friends and neighbours for the cards of condolence beautiful flowers and the donations to Robert's favourite charities, charities, The Salvation Army, The Red Cross and, more recently the victims of Hurricane Mitch. All have been gratefully received and acknowledged.
