Moreau, NY - Robert A. Bonar " Dr. B", DVM passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010. Born in Providence, RI, Robert was the son of the late Hilda Hargreave and Robert Bonar. Upon completion of high school, Robert served in the US Marine Corps. on active duty during the Korean War. After faithfully serving his country Robert enrolled at Boston University and went on to Michigan State University for his Veterinary Medical degree. Robert owned and operated the Clifton Park Animal Hospital for 40 yrs. until his retirement in 2002. A kind and gentle soul, Robert is survived by his loving wife of 30 yrs., AnaMaria Bonar and his step-daughter, Kate (Paul) Veitch.. Some refer to him as a cantankerous old man, yet his wish was to be truthful, which for many, was often difficult to hear. Robert had a huge heart and was a completely unselfish man and the joys in his life were his wife, step-daughter and grandchildren Christopher G. and Ana Elise Veitch. Entertaining his grandchildren brought the brightest of smiles and the deepest of laughs to both the children and also to himself. He worked hard to instill a love of nature to Kate, Christopher and Ana. What gave him great joy was to give AnaMaria and Kate everything they wanted and patiently sat through two decades of horse shows in which Kate competed. Random acts of kindness were the mainstay of a long life in which Robert would notice young families in need and provide them with enough support to cover their basic needs. Christopher and Ana will miss their grandfather and the hours spent playing in the yard and examining every living creature. Relatives and friends may call from 2 to 4pm Thursday, Oct.21, 2010 at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs (584-5373). As a result of AnaMaria's passion for CAPTAIN Youth and Family Services, Bob wished, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to CAPTAIN Youth and Family Services AnaMaria Bonar Endowment Fund, 5 Municipal Plaza, Clifton Park, NY 12065.
