Dear Joan and Family Bob and I were very saddened to hear of the passing of Rocker. I was one of Rocker's biggest fans, he was very special to us over the 39 years that I have known him and for Bob 75 years ,I suppose you could say. We had many good times visiting each other and time spent at the cottage at Lorne Beach. We will miss him as I know each of you will. Be there for each other long after he is gone. Family is everything that can help heal all. Love to all of you Bob and Anna MacDonald
