BELDING, Robert
October 22, 1937 - May 13, 2026
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Robert “Bob” Belding, who left us peacefully on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, in Lachine, Quebec at the age of 88.
Born in Montreal and raised in Lachine and NDG, Bob lived a life defined by devotion to his family, his community, and the values he held dear. He was deeply involved with Scouts Canada throughout his life, leaving a lasting impact on many through his leadership, guidance, and commitment to service.
Bob was also a faithful and active member of St. Michael and All Angels, where he was well known for his passion for gardening. Through his care and dedication, he helped create and maintain beautiful spaces that brought joy and comfort to his church community.
Shortly after starting his long career at Air Canada, Bob met his wife, Monica. They were married in 1961 and built a life together that spanned 64 years of love and commitment.
His 37-year career with Air Canada opened the door to many wonderful family travels and adventures, creating treasured memories that will live on for generations.
He will be remembered for his kindness, quiet strength, generosity, and unwavering dedication to family and community.
Bob was predeceased by his parents Horace and Emma (nee Robinson); and his brother Stephen (Sue). He is survived by his beloved wife Monica (Ullyett), his children Andrew (Stephanie) and Karen and will be greatly missed by his grandchildren, Kayleigh, Ethan, Matthew and Patrick. Bob also leaves behind extended family and lifelong friends, who will deeply miss him and forever cherish his memory.
Family and friends may pay their respects at the Voluntas Commemoration at 4695 boul. St. Jean, DDO on Friday May 22nd from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturday May 23rd at St Michael’s and All Angels at 15556 Cabot St., Pierrefonds from 10am to 11am where a funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. followed by a reception at the church.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St Michael’s and All Angels or to the PSP Society of Canada (https://www.pspsocietycanada.ca/).

Our years together have wonderful memories in Pierrefonds. We attended the same church and socialized for many years. David my deceased husband and Bob were great friends. I am sure all who knew him will miss him. And Monica and family you will miss him the most.
The loss of your husband, your dad and grandpa my heart and prayers go to each one of you. God Bless. Pam
