DOWNEY, R.J. (Bob) 8 Years, 10 Months ago

Black Watch Friends:

Regret to report the passing of Bob Downey yesterday (9 July) morning in Halifax.

Bob went through The Black Watch Depot in 1957 and was posted to 2nd Battalion, C Company. He served with 2nd Battalion in Gagetown, Germany and Cyprus before remustering to RCASC Cook in 1970. As a Cook he served in Cornwallis, Halifax Windsor Park, and Stadacona Hospital.

Bob was a star on the 2nd Battalion Boxing Team during the early 60s and was the Army Welterweight Champion for several years in succession'.

Obit not yet available.

With thanks to Cy Clayton for the foregoing.

R. I. P.
