In memory of Robert Hansford

In memory of Robert Frederick Hansford

By Susan Neil, Executive Vice President, Hanscomb Limited

We are saddened to announce the passing of Robert Frederick Hansford, following his battle with IPF, a battle he fought with great stoicism and grace. Rob peacefully passed away at home on June 28, 2017, with family by his side. Robert was the beloved husband of Vivienne for 42 years; happy and loving father to Sarah (Gallagher) and Lisa (Gray); father-in-law to David and Shawn; and very proud grandfather of William, Matthew, Landon and Ethan.

Robert will be greatly missed by many, including his family in England who encouraged him as he studied for his quantity surveyor’s qualifications, which he gained in 1974 while at Wainwright and Partners in Mount Street, London. Vivienne and Robert met in this time when Vivienne was over for a year from Australia, working for the Solicitors in the same beautiful old building.

When married in Canada in 1975, Rob worked for Hanscomb Roy & Associates on Bloor Street, later moving to Begg & Daigle in 1979, and then Spantec (UMA Group), until starting with Watson & Associates in 1988. Rob returned to Hanscomb in 2002, before joining the Glynn Group in February 2005 where he retired in 2013. Rob was generous with his time in providing guidance and support to other quantity surveyors.

One of Rob’s great pleasures throughout his life was photography, which was also useful in his role as a QS. Over many years he focused on nature and took some wonderful pictures of animals, birds, and various flora in whichever country he and the family visited. In later life in Thornhill, he enjoyed being Chairman on the Heintzman House Board and volunteered at the Thornhill Seniors Club. His sense of humour and warm manner endeared him to many throughout his lifetime.
