Before we get started, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize one of the greatest pilots from the North, Robert Murray Heath, and to extend my condolences on behalf of the House and the Northwest Territories to his wife and family.

Bob Heath did what many only yearn for; he followed his dream to be a pilot, adventurer, husband, father and best friend to all he met. His flying career brought him many adventures to all parts of our world, many with his work family at Kenn Borek and Aklak Air in Inuvik. Everyone in the Beaufort-Delta and all my constituents can say they flew with him. Every community member will sadly miss Bob. He was always willing to openly share his wisdom, sense of humor, and empathy with all that joined his journey.

Grandpa Bob, or Captain Bob, leaves a path of admiration and inspiration for all those he knew. He was always willing to share his expertise, and inspired to absorb new knowledge every day. He would always say, “Strive to learn something new each day of your life.” Bob travelled his path through love for his family, love for his work, and love for all the people in all the communities he visited.

Bob is survived by his wife, Lucy Heath, and their children Angela Sinclair, Helen (Joe) Prest, and Warren Geno; six grandchildren, Cheneya, Delareese, Marshall, Gordon, Miguel, Tyler and Rainalee. Also left to cherish his memory are his nephews Cory (Erica) Domenichini and Kerry Haslett, and niece Kelly Haslett.

Bob was predeceased by his parents, Robert Heath Sr., and mother, Elizabeth “Betty” nee Hunt, and his beloved sister Gail Haslett.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. May you find strength and comfort in one another.
