Obituary of Robert John McGregor Webster

WEBSTER, Robert John McGregor June 7, 1979 – February 16, 2014 Suddenly at home in London, Ontario, Robert John McGregor Webster (34). Beloved son of Allan Ross Webster and Mrs. Margaret Evelyn Webster. Brother of Sarah Ross Howard (Scott), Alexandra Seaton Hill (Shayne) and Mary Margaret Newton Tomas (Robert). Beloved Uncle to Hannah, Jonah, Phoebe, Ewan, Thomas, Hudson, Jordan, Elliot and Ruby. Beloved step-son of Nancy Maltby-Webster and step-brother to Kelly, Leslie and Jackie Stephens. He is also survived by and remembered by many uncles, aunts and cousins of the Webster and Thomson families. Born in Woodstock, Ontario, where he spent his early years. He moved to London in 1982 with his family where he attended elementary and junior high schools completing his high school education at Sir Frederick Banting Secondary School. Robert graduated from Western University with a degree in Political Science in 2003 and maintained keen interest in that subject together with that of film, theatre and music for the rest of his short life. He was employed in the hospitality industry both in London and Vancouver where he thrived and where he would have stayed were it not for a downturn in his health. He also spent a fantastic year in Tokyo, Japan, teaching English to Japanese students greatly enjoying this particular challenge. Before and upon his return from Japan, he obtained some bit parts in local film productions which were a great source of interest and fun and a few dollars to boot. He even engaged the services of an agent. Cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation. A private memorial service will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation made to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) would be appreciated. Know that your words of concern, together with your thoughts and prayers are of great comfort to the family.
