In memory of

Robert "Bob" Kasner Sr

1943 - 2025

Bob, age 82, passed away peacefully with family on Friday, December 12 th , 2025, at
Extendicare in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Born to James “Jim” and Dorris (Luce) Kasner,
Bob grew up on Tower Street, graduating high school from KLCVI in 1962 where he
was an avid football player, # 87 defensive tackle. There he met his life cheerleader,
Eveline (Bailey) and they shared 64 years together. Married 61 years, Bob and Eveline
have two sons, Robert David (Lori) and Donald Richard Keith (Jen). Bob was blessed
with six beautiful grandchildren – Bailey (Andrew), Carter, Chase, Elle, Mason and Kohl
along with 3 great grandchildren – August, Lyla and Arden. His grandchildren and
great grandchildren meant the world to him, always there to support them anyway he
could.

Bob has two brothers, Don (deceased) (Carmen) and Glenn (Diane) and a sister, Linda
along with many wonderful nieces and nephews who he adored.


Bob also treasured his many friendships, some starting in childhood. He’s carried many
of these friendships throughout his life. He was also honoured to have been a
Freemason of the Doric Lodge for 52 years. Bob was also a Shriner.

With his last few years at Extendicare, Bob truly cherished the genuine support, care
and love shown to him by the team. Bob, along with his family are truly grateful for the
care shown to him during this time.

Bob found peace and serenity in nature. His love for the outdoors was evident as he
grew a prosperous career in prospecting and mining exploration and had a great
passion for hunting and fishing, flying his plane, building log homes on Kenogami Lake
along with many other hunting camps.

In honor of Bob’s love for the outdoors, family will be hosting an outdoor Celebration of
Life at his home in the summer of 2026. Details to follow.

Let’s remember this truly great man this way:
 

Gone Fishing

If someone should ask for me, tell ‘em heaven is where I’ll be.
I’ve finished all my life’s chores, and now I fish on heaven’s shores.
The view is grand and the fishing’s great, but I yearn for you as I wait.
I’ll save a spot on the river’s bend, for all those, I call family and friend.
But for now, head out to the lake and make a cast in memory,

To all the good times that you had, with me – your friend, your family, your brother.

And if the fish no longer bite or seem no longer worth the fight,

Because it’s me that you are missin’, don’t worry – be glad – I’ve only gone fishing.

Dear Eve, Bobby and Donald , Glenn and families. I was saddened to hear about the passing of the guy I called the Kas. I can still see Bob in his jeans, red ski jacket and ski boots standing at the bottom of a hill at Snow Bird Utah, when a guy approached him, started talking, and I realized Bob had no idea who he was. So i immediately said, hi, I'm mac Balkam, and the guy gave his name, so the Kas was rescued. That was our friendship and it was very valued to me, and for both Wanita and I with you Donald and Bobby. We will look forward to toasting the Kas on Aug 15 in KL. Our thoughts are with you and I'm sure it will be a teary eyed event Mac and Wanita Balkam

Bob was one of the first people we met when we came to Kenogami and he remained a valued neighbour throughout. He helped us get started as a member of the Kenogami community, and we’ll miss his straight forward manner and always “saying it, the way it was”. A truly unique character who we’ll never forget.
