Whiskey Chasers (Robert was a founding member)
It is with profound sadness and deepest of sorrow that Whiskey Chasers announce the passing of our dear friend and band mate Robert Sears.
Robert passed away peacefully surrounded by his family around 7:20am on Wednesday October 29.
Robert was a founding member of Whiskey Chasers and was an integral part of the band and our sound with his masterful bass playing and vocals. He was forced to retire from the band last August due to health issues.
Robert was kind, caring, generous, and a loyal friend. He will be dearly missed by his friends and family and the many people whose lives he touched.
Rest in peace brother.
Robert and Dean (Robert Sears & Dean Hunt from Whiskey Chasers) were the very first musicians that I got to play with when I moved to Hamilton about 10 years ago at a bar called Black Bull in Burlington. Robert also assisted me playing his bass on a Rock on Locke St . event pro gratis. I still owe him !
