The family of Robert Chabot (known to most as Bob), age 77, of Fort Frances, is sad to announce his passing on January 23, 2025, at Thunder Bay Regional Hospital.
Robert was born March 17, 1947, in Fort Frances where he was raised along with his 10 siblings and lived most of his life. He was married to Julia (Pattison) on June 7, 1968. They raised two children and built a great life together.

Robert was an electrician by trade but a jack of all trades by heart. He could fix or build anything he put his mind to. Robert had many ties to the community, he was a Royal Canadian Legion member Branch 29 for 34 years. He also served as their Vice-president for the past three years. Robert loved the outdoors but most of all being near the lake. He especially liked to fish and participated in many local fishing tournaments over the years.
Survived by his son Ronald Chabot; daughter Elisabeth Falloon and spouse Darcy Hyatt; grandson Anthony Falloon and spouse Cindy Brazil; granddaughter Zoey Hyatt; grandson Kurtis Hyatt; and great-granddaughters Maelee and Wrenley Brazil/Falloon and Genevieve Dorge. Also surviving is one brother Paul Chabot; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
