I am sorry for the loss of your Father. He was my Dad's best friend and I still remember some of the stories Dad told us about their youthful adventures. Like my Dad, Bob had an affectionate nature, a twinkle in his eye and a grin from ear to ear. Your Dad had a wonderful talent with his voice and could bring tears to your eyes when you listened to him. My prayers are with you and your family. Bob is at peace with the Lord now and I hope this brings you peace and comfort in the difficult days ahead.

Years ago we took a bus trip to the east Coast with Bob and Gloria. They decided to stay at the motel the day the rest of us did the Cabot Trail, did not know until afterwards the reason why! They could not handle the heights! But neither could be I!
Bob always had time for a chat whenever we saw him, enjoyed a chat when we visited Rvilla!
My fondest memories of Bob is his singing voice with the quartet at Clarks United Church on the 12th of Huron. The church experience at Clarks was the foundation of my faith and the inspiration of my 30+ years of ministry. Bob always had a cheery smile and a keen interested in the lives of others. May the God of peace surround all of you, his precious family in these days.
