1954 – 2025

Albert Hugh “Bobby” Barrocks passed away peacefully at his home in Hamilton, Ontario, on July 31, 2025, at the age of 70. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Bobby was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose life was marked by faith, creativity, and service.

He broke barriers as one of the first Black supervisors at Toronto Hydro, launched Bobby’s Jamaican Cooking Show on YouTube, and became an executive producer on the films A Letter From the Fathers and Sugar Dumplin’.

Bobby is lovingly remembered by his wife of 46 years, Marjorie; his children, Albert Hugh Jr., Sheldon, Tristan, and Amarah-Cree; his grandchildren—Adonai, Justice, Kava, Kamay, Uahsuf, Matthias, Hope-Alexis, Shiloh, Zephtan, Zien, and Kiah—and the family dog, Chai. He is also survived by his aunt and second mother, Elvelena DeCosta; his sister, Hirfa Clarke; and his brother, Landy Clarke.
