<div itemprop="description">Bob Price, age 93 years of Saskatoon passed away peacefully on March 12, 2016. Born in Saskatoon on December 12, 1922, Bob lived in Saskatoon all his life, growing up on Kilburn Avenue and attending Buena Vista School along with his brothers. He served his country in the Canadian Navy in World War II on the HMS Manxman and the HMCS Toronto. After the war Bob returned to Saskatoon and received post-secondary education. He gained employment with Drewry&rsquo;s Brewery on 2nd Avenue in Saskatoon as a Stationary Engineer and remained at this location for over 40 years as the brewery transitioned to Carlings, to Carling-O&rsquo;Keefes and to Molsons. In 1989, Bob joined 15 other colleagues to buy the brewery from Molson and establish Great-Western Brewery and became one of the Original 16. The brewery was always near and dear to his heart. Bob was also a prominent member of the Saskatoon 5-Pin Bowling Association for over 50 years and was an original member of the Friday Night Senior Men&rsquo;s League, and bowled till the age of 90. He was very proud of his numerous +900 triples and more than a handful of +1000 triples. He held league averages of over 270 for many years. He is a member of the Saskatoon and Saskatchewan Sports Halls of Fame as a coach for the 1966 Western Canadian Ladies Bowling Championship team. Bob was an active member of the Army and Navy Club in Saskatoon and spent many countless hours golfing, curling and playing pool with his friends. Bob and his wife Ag were very generous people; their homes on 33rd. Street and Morris Drive were always welcoming to anyone who dropped by for a visit. Bob was married to Ag for 58 years until her passing in 2012. He will be sadly missed by his family and numerous friends. Bob received exemplary care in the past few years from Home Care and most recently from the caring staff of Veteran&rsquo;s Village at Sherbrooke Community Centre. The Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at 10:00 am from Hillcrest Funeral Home, 1st right after Briargate Road on 8th Street East. Interment will take place in the Garden of Apostles, Hillcrest Memorial Gardens. Arrangements entrusted to Greg Lalach. 306-477-4400</div>
