It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Robert “Bob” Lamadeleine, on August 14th, 2021, at the Ottawa Montfort Hospital.
Bob was a lifelong resident in Ottawa and an extremely proud Canadian. Prior to his retirement, he worked as a Records Management Manager first with Export Development Canada (EDC) and then with Canada Post. He was also a very active member of ARMA, his professional association. Bob was a gentle, kind, loving and compassionate man. He loved to sing, dance, tell jokes and to cheer for his Ottawa Red Blacks, Senators and Champions.
Bob loved life, his family and his friends and had a wonderful “joie de vivre”. He is survived by his wife Denise (Pelletier), his children Luc (Arlene), Denis (Christine) and Lynne Barrowman (Robert) and his 5 grandchildren, Zoe, Derek, Sophie, Maryse, Robert. He is also survived by his sister, Fran (Bert), his sisters in law, Suzanne McCallister (Jim), Corinne Dove (Hugh), Margaret McLaughlin (Pat), Céline Read (Mike), his brother-in-law Michel Pelletier (Arlene) and many nieces and nephews. Bob will also be greatly missed by his lifelong “amigos” Roger Rose and Ron Clément. He is pre-deceased by his parents, Lionel, and Marguerite (Gagné) and his brother Lionel.
A Memorial Service will be held at the Beechwood National Memorial Centre, 280 Beechwood Avenue, on Saturday, August 21st at 1pm. Due to current COVID restrictions, a limited number of guests will be able to attend in person and are encouraged to register their attendance at www.beechwoodottawa.ca. You may also register for the Live-streaming of the service if you are unable to attend in person. Masks will be required. A private immediate family reception will take place following the service. Bob’s remains will be laid to rest by the family at a future date.
We wish to extend our deepest thanks to both emergency medical and Montfort Hospital staff. We kindly ask that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Ottawa Heart and Stroke Foundation in his name.

It was great sadness that we learned to Robert's passing. He was always fun to be around. His joie de vivre was a memorable trait and we will forever cherish. His love of family, a great story teller, his love of song and mostly his kind hearted advice will all be missed.
God bless you Robert. You are a wonderful person with a great laugh and spirit within you. May God watch over your entire family as they mourn and especially our Auntie Denise.
A la prochaine mon oncle.
