Robert (Bob) Dickie, (June 22, 1949) passed away peacefully on July 6, 2024 at the age of 75. His departure marks a profound loss for his beloved family and friends.
Born to William and Gabrielle Dickie, in Montreal Québec. He will be missed by his brother Michael Dickie and is pre-deceased by his sister Marilyn Dickie.
Bob developed a passion for innovation and a relentless drive to push boundaries from an early age. His journey began with humble roots, but through dedication and a keen intellect, he founded Spark Innovations and transformed it into a pioneering force in the innovation industry. Under his leadership, the company set new standards for creativity and ingenuity.
Beyond his professional achievements, Bob was a father to his daughters, Kira Tone (Garrett Tone) and Paige Dickie (Tobi Ojo). He took immense pride in their accomplishments and cherished every moment spent with them. He was grandfather to Vesper Tone and to his brand new grandson Kenzo Ojo.
Bob will be remembered not only for his entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen but also for his love for aviation and motorsports. He leaves behind a legacy that extends far beyond his professional endeavors—a legacy of speed and countless hours in the sky.
In his final days, Bob was surrounded by the love of his family and beloved friends, who will continue to honor his memory. He is survived by his daughters, Kira and Paige, who will undoubtedly continue to embody his spirit of resilience.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Sick Kids Hospital, reflecting Bob's support of his granddaughter, Vesper, and her battle with congenital heart disease.
