    I won’t forget the fun times we all had at Uncle Bob and Aunt Donna’s house when we were kids. Going swimming in the pond or being dunked in the water barrel. Having a lot of family time together. Those are the best times and I will never forget them. You will be sadly missed but I will meet up with you again in the future.

    I am so saddened to hear, he was Uncle Bob to me, always had a kind word and a hug for me. Remembering the many, wonderful times, meals and company of which I was honoured to be a part of at their homes. Always had the flyers from the local newspapers waiting for me, so we could talk about them. Thank you for Hospice Barrie for such wonderful care of him and family members, I visited a few times and was in wonder of the professionalism, kindness and “family atmosphere” that was always there.
