Bob (of Vaudreuil, Quebec) passed away quietly in his sleep on Saturday at the age of 78. He is survived by his ex-wife, Diane; daughters, Karen (Randy) and Joanne (Larry); grandchildren and extended grandchildren, Lucas, Tristen, Danika, Liam, Micheline; Cassie, Danielle and Cody; His brother, Doug and nieces, Elise and Julie. He is pre-deceased by his parents Luke and Yvonne(Sabourin) Tansey ; his brother Russell and numerous extended family members. He moved his family out to Fort McMurray in 1978 while working at Syncrude. He worked diligently throughout the Oilsands where he gained the respect and friendship of many. While not at site he was sure to be found in his trailer out at Gregoire Lakes (early years) or Hanging Stone with family and friends. In real Tansey style just a small gathering of family will be held.
