We will dearly miss you ( my favourite Uncle Bob ) sending all our love and hugs love Joyce George and Agnes
Thank you
A life well lived. A man loved immensely and cherished by all. He had a way of touching peoples hearts. He embraced my family and always made us feel a part of his. My kids knew him as Papa Bob. They loved and adored him! He would tease us and we would tease him back. We all loved the teasing. He was a character whose smile and laughter lit up a room..
Time is one of those commodities that you never get back. Bob or Papa Bob, spent his time unselfishly with those he loved.
Bob, when we eat hippy dippy foods like avocados! We will think of you!😂🤣😂
I thought to myself the day he passed away, “ I just want one more day.” Then I realized I did have my one more day and many more. Bob’s journey with cancer far passed his life expectancy. He squeezed out every minute he could to be with the loves of his life, Barb, Opal, Leah and family.
I will miss you Bob… I will cherish our memories . Love you always and forever.❤️❤️❤️
He loved you all so much!! Thank you so much for the kind words.
Our sincere sympathy to you Barb and all of your family. Bob will be missed by many.
Thank you
Barb and family
I was so sad to hear about Bob’s passing.my thoughts and prayers are with you all
Take care
Barb and family,
We are deeply sorry for your loss.
