Our family wishes to express our sorrow for the loss of our dear father, grandfather and great grandad. Bob died peacefully at home surrounded by many family.
Born in Regina, Saskatchewan to Ruth and Andrew Hosie. Predeceased by his wife Margaret in 2014, siblings Art and Eleanor, and his grandson Scott Stone. He will be lovingly remembered by his children, Jill (Bill) Ross, Judie (Jim Stone), Tom, Jane (Jamie) Papp, Rob (Brenda); grandchildren, Evan, Jane, Mac, Camille, Anna, Molly, Kate, Sophie, Alex, Caleb, David; 11 great-grandchildren; nephews, Andy, Andrew, Robert, David; nieces, Patti, Pam, Hope, Tracey.
We are forever thankful to have had such a kind, gentle and caring mentor in our lives for so many years. His strength, compassion, independence, grace, wit, intelligence, integrity, patience and acceptance were an example to us all and made him an amazing figure who will continue to give us high goals to strive for. Up until the day of his death, he enjoyed bridge, book club, coffee mornings with an exercise group, Wednesday pub lunches with longtime friends, as well as many precious times with family.
He is a veteran of World War II, during which he developed enormous compassion for others. He is remembered as a gentleman and role model surgeon. His leisure activities included sailing, golf, woodworking, outdoor pursuits, and eating cookies and ice cream.
Until his last day, his wit, intelligence, insight and concern for others were the Dad and Grandad we celebrate and respect. We have memories to cherish forever.
The family would like to thank Dr. MacNaughton for the care and friendship provided to dad.
A Service will be held on Tuesday, September 11, 2018 at 1:00 pm at Knox Presbyterian Church, 2964 Richmond Road, Victoria, BC.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Our condolences to you all- Dr Hosie was truly unique. I had known him when I was a young nurse and it was wonderful to reconnect with him and to meet his family many years later and to realize that such a nice man also had such a nice family. We were very happy to be part of his sailing life when we became part owners in Meg- we had many happy times and good adventures on the boat. Our thoughts are with you all.

Sincere condolences to the Ross, Papp, Stone, and Hosie families. Such a kind, caring, and loving husband to Margaret and his children and grands. So many wonderful memories you will cherish.
I’m so sorry to read about Dr. Hosie’s passing. As a young intern, and later GP, it was always a pleasure to assist Dr. Bob in the OR. I knew my patients were always in the best hands. Rest in Peace, Dr. Hosie!
Offering condolences to the entire Hosie family.
