 PINKERTON
ROBERT “BOB” JOHNSON PINKERTON, 78, passed away May 22, 2015.

He’s known to some as having built the first California style hot rod in Lethbridge and as an accomplished stock car racer.

Bob was a man of many skills who loved to work and was later known as the idea guy in his handyman business that he loved. His word and reputation meant everything to him, he took pride in a job well done and in helping others.
Bob was predeceased by his mother and father Fred and Cath Pinkerton. He is survived by his children Robina Gaskell, Robert Pinkerton Jr, Sabrina (Jeff) Lolacher. Grandchildren Jay & April Gaskell, Reese Neil, great granddaughter Taylor Gaskell, sister Maureen Jackson and brother Mervin Pinkerton.
The family is forever grateful to his dedicated physician (guardian angel) Dr. Carmen Benkoczi. Special thanks to Allison and Dr. Westhauser from the Legacy Medical Clinic.
A Private Family Graveside Service will be held.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made in dad’s honour to  Alberta Heart & Stroke Foundation, P.O. Box 2211, Lethbridge, AB, T1J 4K7, who he diligently canvassed for every year.
