BOB MATTHEWS
Bob and De have been married for over 54 years and have 3 grown children who are enjoying and working hard in their chosen careers.  Bob also boasts of having 9 Grandchildren and  7 Great Grandchildren.

Bob worked as a heavy duty mechanic/service manager for over 50 years and retired in 2017 only to find another occupation to keep him busy--farming.

Prior to joining  the Optimist organization, Bob worked tirelessly with Boy Scouts of Canada serving as a leader and also Assistant District Commissioner.  He enjoyed watching the youth transition from Beavers right up to Ventures'.  Bob especially loved the times at camp and encouraged the youth to "climb mountains".  Many a youth had the opportunity to climb Table Mountain, camp and go to the world jamborees during the years Bob spent in Scouting.  To this day the youth still make a point to recognize Bob even though it has been 25+ yeas since they were in his pack/troop/company.

Bob assisted the All Nation's Optimist Club on fundraisers and youth activities for several years and finally joined in 2009 and has been an active member in all club activities since.  He has held the Club Secretary/Treasurer position, Club President and District Secretary Treasurer.   He was awarded the Honor Club Citation-Secretary  in 2017, 2019 & 2021.    Honor Club Citation-President-2023.

In his spare time Bob enjoys camping, fishing, motorcycle riding but most especially enjoys his family time and spoiling the Great Grandchildren.
