Bob passed away peacefully in his sleep in his daughter’s home in Stony Plain, Alberta, shortly after a terminal diagnosis. In his words, he had a good life and was ready to see his wife and friends again. Born and raised mostly in the Tofield area, he travelled a bit before settling there and then moving to Edmonton with his family in 1967, where he remained until shortly before his death.
Bob was predeceased by his wife, Peggy; granddaughter, Victoria Camano; parents, Thomas and Nancy Nahrebeski; brother and sister-in-law, Jim and Louise; and sister and brother-in-law, Ethel and Paul Chorney.
He leaves behind his children: Doug (Julie) Nahrebeski, Lorrie Camano, and Ron Nahrebeski; grandchildren: Chelsey Waddell, Hunter, Darby, and Aidan Nahrebeski, Jessica LaPierre, and Scott Camano,; nine great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.
Cremation has taken place and as per his wishes no service will occur.
The Family would like to thank everyone who has expressed their condolences.

My name is Ken. For a short time Bob and Peg were our neighbours when we lived on the north side. The first encounter was when we heard our children talking to an adult in the back yard. Our girls had invited Peg over for a tea party. We quickly realized how nice the new neighbours were and had enjoyed every minute living next to Bob and Peg. Whether we were Bbqing in the backyard or with Bob trying to keep up with Peg on the golf course, any time spent with both was fun. You could see that the were full of life and love. We were truly blessed to have met and spent time with both of them. Our children remember them both fondly and speak of them to this day. I am very sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

We were Bob and Pegs neighbours for awhile. They were truly the most amazing people. I remember doing dishes and hearing my kids play out in the backyard and they stayed talking to someone. I ran outside to see who it was and it was Bob handing over sunflowers to my kids having a tea party with peg. My kids after wrote in sidewalk chalk messages to them and they would look over the fence and read them. Bob would also always have the big bin of cheese balls to offer my kids. We truly miss them! Hopefully they are happy being together again!

I’ve been thinking about you all so much these past few weeks…. Bob was such a wonderful man, so friendly , joyous, and welcoming to anyone who came through his door. He & Peg both lived a wonderful life and raised a family of amazing people whom I know he was so tremendously proud of… Thoughts & Prayers to you all!

I just saw this. Wondered why I hadn’t heard from my dear friend. Sincere condolences to his family and all the other friends.

Bob was one of kind. Hard working, fun and full of positive energy. He made me feel good just being in his presence. Always asking how I was doing and what I was up to. He displayed genuine concern for others and a love of life. Bob singing around the campfire is etched in my memory. His big smile will stay with me forever. He was a good friend to so many. He and Peg were a real team and I know they’re together now. She playing the accordian and Bob singing at the top of his lungs. Love to all of the family in this time of loss. I am remembering the good times, the love and laughter that Bob brought to this world. He will be missed but not forgotten. Love Franny

I was so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. We communicate over email for a few years after we figured out my grandfather and Bob’s father were brothers. He wanted me and my 4 sister to come out to Alberta so we could meet in person. My mother and her two brothers were a Nahrebeski and grew up in Alberta. We live in the US and never knew much about our grandparents or the Nahrebeski family.. Our condolences to the family!!

Our condolences on the loss of Uncle Bob. Both Peg and him were the finest people. They showed us and our kids the greatest holiday one year. The took us to picnic with family. They did ceramics with us and peg insisted we all play a musical instrument with her. This was very ambitious as none of us were musical. They also took me golfing for my very first time. We shared so much laughter and love with your folks. We were so lucky to have known them. Hugs to you all at this time Joan and Duane Heintz 😢
