We are sad to announce the peaceful passing of Bob at St. Peter’s Residence at Chedoke, one month shy of his 95th birthday.
Beloved husband of Marion (Brintnell) Moulden for 75 years. Loving father of Dave (Roxanne) and the late Susan (d.2019), (Richard Huff). Extremely proud grandfather of Dianna (Matt Peressini), Katie (Mike Walker) and James. Dementia robbed Dad of meaningful time with his great-grandchildren, Keaton, Zachary, Natalie Walker and Olivia Peressini. Predeceased by his older brothers Jack and Alf, and brothers-in-law Barry, Lloyd and Gerald Brintnell and Ken McGleish. Survived by sister-in-law Dorothy McGleish.
Dad was born and raised in London, Ontario. He was active in all sports from an early age and was a natural athlete. Growing up, he spent a lot of time with his mom, Win, as his brothers were as much as 11 years older and then off serving in World War II. His dad, Ray, was a deputy fire chief working shifts. Dad and Win would listen to Detroit sports on the radio, especially the Tigers, which were her favourites. Hence, his lifelong fandom for Detroit teams. Win kept scrapbooks of Dad’s achievements in Thames Valley teams and church leagues, and through to his years at South Collegiate, where his teammates became lifelong friends. After graduating in 1949, he joined the Huron and Erie-Canada Trust, where he met his future wife, Marion. Not wanting to lose such a prized catch, they married in 1951. Dad was 19 years old.
Deeming accounting to be his calling, he furthered his education by taking correspondence courses at night after work and ultimately achieved his Chartered Accountant designation. This prompted their move to Dundas in 1962, as Dad was hired by Stelco into Hamilton Works accounting. He loved his career at Stelco, known as a people person, he revelled in getting to know his staff and fostering their development. He was active in Stelco curling, golf and fastball leagues, making lots of friends along the way. After retiring from Stelco in 1987, he continued to put his CA designation to work in various contract positions and a longer stint with Craft Originators.
During these years, Dad was both a curling and golf member at Dundas Valley Golf and Curling Club, ultimately becoming club president in 1993. Dad and Mom enjoyed summer vacations at Bruce Beach on Lake Huron for over 50 years. Dad keenly supported his grandchildren in all their activities and rarely, if ever, missed any of James’ hockey games, often with his brother Alf in tow.
Dad and Mom were devoted parishioners at the early Sunday service at St. James Anglican Church in Dundas.
Alzheimer’s dementia forced Mom into LTC at St. Peter’s Residence in 2022, and as Dad’s dementia progressed, he followed her there in 2023. We wish to thank all the wonderful staff on the Birch Terrace for their expert care and compassion.
Dad had a big personality, enjoyed a party and a good joke, and shared his opinions freely. He loved his family, and we loved him. He will be missed. Rest in Peace, Dad.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held at St. James Anglican Church, 137 Melville St. in Dundas at 12:00 pm on Tuesday, June 30th, followed by a private family service at 1:00 pm.
Those who wish, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society or St. Peter’s Residence at Chedoke. Please share condolences and memories below.
Longtime harness racing industry participant Robert “Robbie” Clark of Dundas, Ont. passed away on June 1, 2026, just shy of his 76th birthday.
