Robert “Bob” Henderson

Robert “Bob” Harold Henderson of Blenheim passed away peacefully on February 15, 2025 with his family by his side after a short battle with cancer.

Bob was born to the late Harold and Loreena Henderson.  He is survived by his spouse Laurette, who he met in 1995 and blended their families.  He is survived by his son Brian, his grandchildren Angie (Cam), Tawnya, Nichole (Nick), Dylan, Kelsy (Kory) and Makenzie, and his great-grandchildren Kylar, Piper and Cooper.

With Bob’s union to Laurette there are additional honorary family members; daughter Renée (Charlie), grandchildren Robert, Rachel (Dylan), Jon (Kait), Josh, Katielyn, Kristina (Trevor) and Jessica, and great-grandchildren Scarlette-Belle, Ellie-Rose and Rosie.

As families are unique, we also must include Jamie Trainor (Kim) and their children Alex, Hannah and Emma.

Bob also has a surviving brother Mike (Diane).

There have been many losses over the years as Bob was predeceased by his daughter Tracey, sons Brad and Keith, as well as his brother Ron and his sister Bev.

Bob was a creature of habit to say the least.  If you saw him in Blenheim or Shrewsbury, you could tell it wasn’t winter.  Bob would be at Tim Hortons daily hanging with his buddies where they all exaggerated their stories together.  In Shrewsbury he could be seen driving around to “check things out”, stopping anywhere on the road to chat whether he knew you or not.  If you didn’t know who he was at the beginning of your chat, you would by the end.  Winter would come and he would “poof” off to Florida with Laurette to enjoy the sun, boating and dinner with their friends.

Visitation for Bob will take place at the Blenheim Community Funeral Home on Monday February 17, 2025 from 1:00- 4:00 p.m.  A Funeral Service will be held at the Funeral Home on Tuesday February 18, 2025 at 11:00 a.m.  A private family interment will take place in Evergreen Cemetery.

Friends wishing to remember Bob with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Chatham-Kent Hospice or the Shrewsbury Raglan Assembly.
