FEI Canada is sad to announce that our former president, Bob Waugh, passed away on Thursday, Jan. 15, 2015, at the age of 97. Bob spent his most of his career with General Motors Corporation, eventually serving as CFO of GM Canada until his retirement in 1982. He remained on GM Canada's board of directors until 1990, and served as FEI Canada's president from 1983-1987.
"We've lost a wonderful man," said Maureen Kempston-Darkes, past President of GM Canada, who first met Bob in 1975 when she joined GM. "He was a great mentor to me but also a great friend."
Kempston-Darkes said Bob was a man of great intelligence and humour, who took a strong interest in mentoring young people. "He was ahead of his time in valuing diversity in the business and he was actively engaged in involving more women and minorities," recalled Kempston-Darkes.
