Obituary of Robert Bruce Stailing

STAILING, ROBERT BRUCE - 68, Bruce passed away suddenly at his home in Kolbec, NS on January 26, 2021. Born on July 28, 1952, he was raised in Halifax, and was the son of the late Robert Lawrence Stailing and Dorothy Mildred (McKee) Stailing. Bruce is survived by his son Brent, sisters Barbara (Frank), Elizabeth (Denis) and brother John (Hal). An avid hunter and fisherman all his life, Bruce had a love for the outdoors. His many trips to the camps in Shelburne, Lake Killarney, Browns Mountain, and others, along with moose hunting in Newfoundland were the passions that brought him endless joy. Bruce was a successful businessman and philanthropist who oversaw the successful rise of his company Atlantic Chemical and sponsored numerous others in pursuit of their dreams. Bruce travelled extensively in the course of his business and the many friends he made across Canada are a tribute to his outgoing and positive personality. It is with a heavy heart that those of us who knew him as a friend, co-worker, business associate, outdoorsman or family member, take this opportunity to say farewell…you will be missed. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
