Obituary for Robert George Zaran
Robert George Zaran
Robert George Zaran passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 at the age of 92.
Robert (Bob) was a thoughtful and caring husband, father, grandfather, and uncle. He was a proud Graduate of the Don Martin School of Broadcasting in Hollywood California. His positive influence on people can be attested to by the thousands of students he taught in his 25+ years as a broadcasting instructor at SAIT. Dad did not need status, wealth, external validation, or stuff to show up in a first-class manner, he was comfortable in his own skin.
Bob enjoyed his later years cheering on his favorite CFL Football team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, having a glass or two of his favorite wine, and spending time with family, friends, and his beloved cat Isabella.
Bob is survived by his loving wife of 69 years, Mary Zaran; son, Jason and his wife, Pamela Zaran; grandchildren, Faith and Quinn Zaran; he is also survived by his very close sister-in-law, Anne Schmidt. He was predeceased by his sisters, Kaye Kearns, Sophie Zaran, Betty Pitman and Esther Boulter and brothers, Dave and George Zaran.
Bob was a classy, well spoken, selfless, caring, genuine and curious gentleman of solid character who loved nothing better than to engage people in conversation and learn more about their story. He will be missed greatly.
A private Graveside Service was held at Rockyview Garden of Peace Cemetery. To view and share photos, condolences and memories of Bob, please visit www.choicememorial.com.
