Art Dobson of Riverview passed away on Thursday, November 20,
2014 at The Moncton Hospital. Born in Montreal, he was the son of the
late Joe and Orpah Dobson (Russell) and was an Anaesthesiologist and
Surgical Assistant at The Moncton Hospital for over 60
years.
Art was an avid outdoorsman who had a profound love of all
things green. He founded the Dobson Hiking Trail so that others could
share his passion. He was also heavily involved in Scouting, and was
at times a race car driver, a musher (dog sled), and a high altitude
glider pilot.
He will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Marilyn;
daughters, Debby (Ed) Dobson of Annapolis Valley, NS, Melanie (Graeme)
Dobson of Halifax, NS, Becky Dobson of Halifax, NS; sons, Andrew of
Kingston, ON, Tristan (Jen) of Greenwood, NS, Kim (Ramona) of
Georgetown, ON; sisters, Carolyn (Bob) Bailey of Black River, NS,
Catherine (Jack) Sharpe of Comox, BC; several nieces and nephews and
his beloved 8 grandchildren. Besides his parents, Art was predeceased
by a sister, Peggy McLaughlin.
The family would like to extend an invitation for friends,
colleagues and relatives to join them between the hours of 1-3 PM on
Sunday, November 23, 2014, to share and celebrate Art’s life
at Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine
Road, Riverview (869-2007). Donations made to Dobson Trail or Friends
