Fulton, Robert “Bob” Owen – Age 77, of Middle Musquodoboit, died suddenly at home on October 29, 2023.
Born in Halifax, Robert was a son of the late George and Dorothy (Taylor) Fulton.
Robert started his career as a mechanic with Teasdale & Foote in the 60’s, then with C.N.R. as a mechanic and truck driver. His love of trucks led Robert to becoming an owner/operator for over 30 years, starting with Maritime-Ontario Freight Lines, where he met his wife and was blessed with an extended family of lifelong friends. He was also contracted to several other Transport companies and retired from SLH Transport in 2008. On occasion, he continued to climb into the cab and drive for Maritime Diamond Drilling and Logan Drilling. Bob loved people and travel, which made his chosen profession as a long haul truck driver ‘the dream job’. He enjoyed a life filled with amazing friends, travel, dancing, bowling and ‘get togethers’, sharing stories, laughter and a drink.
Robert was the last remaining member of his immediate family. He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Robin Joyce (Hubbard); sister-in-law, Sheila Fulton, Halifax; brother-in-law, Rick (Janie) Hubbard, Enfield; nephews, Michael (Natalie) Fulton, Middle Musquodoboit; Kevin (Marion) Hubbard, Enfield; nieces, Shelley (Steve) Owen, Dayspring; Kelly (Al) Chapman, East Petpeswick; along with many great nieces and nephews.
Robert was predeceased by his twin, Ralph in infancy and brothers, Donald and Bruce.
