Robert Preston Young
November 23, 1943 to May 31, 2023
Obituary
On May 31, 2023 our Dad took his last breath on this earth. To the world Dad was just one man but to us our Dad was the world. Dad was a professional truck driver for over 40 years, affectionately known by his loyal customers for his 30+ years as the EGG MAN and then as a driver with Armour Transport where he thoroughly enjoyed working (thank you to the staff and management, he enjoyed working with you all!). Dad was a Jack of ALL trades and was never shy of trying to fix anything, he always said, “If a man made it, a man can fix It!”
Robert Preston Young was the last surviving child of James and Rose Young. He leaves to mourn with broken hearts, fond memories and his great work ethic, Robert (Wanda), Roger (Wanda), David (Cathy), Steve (Kim) and the mother of his 4 proud sons Bride Young along with his special friend Terry Reddy, 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
Since 2018 we have met some incredible nurses, doctors, and support staff at Eastern Health, and although we would like to acknowledge each personally, there would be too many to mention. We thank each and every one of you for your professionalism and the great care you gave our father.

It is with our deepest condolences to Steve, Kim ,Georgia, Brooklynn and Stevie, Roger and family, Dave and family and the Young families to hear with great sadness the passing of your father and grandfather. I knew Bob from long ago from my time at Coopers , unloaded the eggs many times and I will say the weather was never able to challenge him the challenge was always the other way. He was a very humble, gentle individual who I respected. Our conversations were pleasant and I always strived to get him on his way. As time went on I got to know Bob personally outside of work and discovered his many talents. These are my memories of him and for you guys hold onto yours, I’m sure there are many. Please know all of you are in our thoughts through this difficult time.
Gary,Doreen Noseworthy and Family.
