We are so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. Our deepest condolences go out to Lynn and her family. Bob was a great guy and we will miss him very much.
It’s with a heavy heart that I write this. Bob was a great friend to both Bernice and I. We made a lot of memories camping together during the summer months and playing cards at either our house or theirs during the winter months. The sudden loss caught us off guard as it did for all who knew him. Jokester, quick witted, kind, you need him, he’s there. Her Bud is gone but will not be forgotten.
I worked with Bob for 43 yrs. During a difficult time he took me aside and said. Sometimes it's not worth the bother or fight, just let it go. You know you were right just let it go. Thank you Bobby for that great advice. My heart goes out to Lynn I know he was your soul mate and protected.
A Memorial Donation has been made to the following charity:
Toronto General Hospital
As so many of us mentioned earlier everything went unbelievably fast from 2 Sunday ago when we chatted and had a beer together at Scott’s and Amanda. For me and Carmen we can only say that he will be missed and I will always remember his candid smile and pointed remarks. May God rest his soul and rest in peace! Our sincere condolences to the entire family!!!
