On Monday, December 5, 2016 at the age of 90. Beloved husband of Elisa (Tina) Bot who passed away in 2013. Loving father of Sonia Bot and her husband Stan Gores of Ottawa; and Diba Bot-Roche and her husband Eamon Roche of Markham. Cherished nonno of Sabine, Clare, and Shane.
As a family man whose family meant more to him than anything else in the world, he led with strong Christian values and moral principles. He was a wise yet humble man. He enjoyed the company of others and was talented in building practical things that were both creative and technical. With fortitude, faculty, and tenacity, he lived a fulfilled life of independence right to the end.
